This change set implements the DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS functionality.
This fix is considered a bug and not a feature, because without it,
there is no known method to write a database creation script that can create
a trigger without failing, when executed on a database that may or may not
contain already a trigger of the same name.
Implementing this functionality closes an orthogonality gap between triggers
and stored procedures / stored functions (which do support the DROP IF
EXISTS syntax).
In sql_trigger.cc, in mysql_create_or_drop_trigger,
the code has been reordered to:
- perform the tests that do not depend on the file system (access()),
- get the locks (wait_if_global_read_lock, LOCK_open)
- call access()
- perform the operation
- write to the binlog
- unlock (LOCK_open, start_waiting_global_read_lock)
This is to ensure that all the code that depends on the presence of the
trigger file is executed in the same critical section,
and prevents race conditions similar to the case fixed by Bug 14262 :
- thread 1 executes DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS, access() returns a failure
- thread 2 executes CREATE TRIGGER
- thread 2 logs CREATE TRIGGER
- thread 1 logs DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS
The patch itself is based on code contributed by the MySQL community,
under the terms of the Contributor License Agreement (See Bug 18161).
The code that set up data to be passed to user-defined functions was very
old and analyzed the "Type" of the data that was passed into the UDF, when
it really should analyze the "return_type", which is hard-coded for simple
Items and works correctly for complex ones like functions.

Added test at Sergei's behest.
The server sends a number of columns to the client.
It uses a limited "fast" function for that instead of the
general one. This fast function cannot send numbers larger
than 2 bytes.
This causes the client to expect smaller number of columns.
The client writes outside of the allocated memory buffer
as a result.
Fixed the server to use the general function to send column
count.
Fixed the client to check the column count before writing
column data.
stored function invoked from different connections".
Invocation of trigger which was using stored function from different
connections caused server crashes (for non-debug server this happened
in highly concurrent environment, but debug server failed on assertion
in relatively simple scenario).
Item_func_sp was not safe to use in triggers (in other words for
re-execution from different threads) as artificial TABLE object
pointed by Item_func_sp::dummy_table referenced incorrect THD
object. To fix the problem we force re-initialization of this
object for each re-execution of statement.
specifying DEFAULT
This was not specific to datetime. When there is no default value
for a column, and the user inserted DEFAULT, we would write
uninitialized memory to the table.
Now, insist on writing a default value, a zero-ish value, the same
one that comes from inserting NULL into a not-NULL field.
(This is, at best, really strange behavior that comes from allowing
sloppy usage, and serves as a good reason always to run one's server
in a strict SQL mode.)
