"ALTER SERVER can cause server to crash"
While retrieving values, it would erronously set the socket value
to NULL and attempt to use it in strcmp().
Ensure it is correctly set to "" so that strcmp may not crash.
* Modified Federated memory allocation to use MEM_ROOT
* Modified sql_servers and federated to allocate share connection
parameters to use MEM_ROOT
* Modified Federated to allow tablename in addition to server name
* Implicit flushing of tables using altered/dropped server name
* Added tests to prove new functionality works

"Concurrent ALTER/CREATE SERVER can lead to deadlock"
Deadlock caused by inconsistant use of mutexes in sql_server.cc
One mutex has been removed to resolve deadlock.
Many functions were made private which should not be exported.
Unused variables and function removed.
"CREATE/DROP/ALTER SERVER should require privileges"
Add check for SUPER privilege when executing CREATE/DROP/ALTER SERVER.
Previously, any user even with only USAGE priv can execute those commands.
Backport of functionality in private 5.2 tree.
Added new language to parser, new mysql.servers table and associated code
to be used by the federated storage engine to allow central connection information
per WL entry.
