Staale Smedseng 37d2019d17 Bug #32223 SETting max_allowed_packet variable ...

Inconsistent behavior of session variable max_allowed_packet 
(and net_buffer_length); only assignment to the global variable 
has any effect, without this being obvious to the user.
      
The patch for Bug#22891 is backported to 5.0, making the two
session variables read-only. As this is a backport to GA 
software, the error used when trying to assign to the read-
only variable is ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR. The error message is the 
same as in 5.1+.

mysql-test/t/variables.test:
  Tests are changed to account for the new semantics, and assignment to the read-only variables is added to test 
  the emission of the correct error message.
sql/set_var.cc:
  Both max_allowed_packet and net_buffer_length are changed 
  to be of type sys_var_thd_ulong_session_readonly. ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR is used to indicate an attempt to assign 
  to an instance of a read-only variable.
sql/set_var.h:
  Class sys_var_thd_ulong_session_readonly is added.
