The problem was that when a embedded linked version of mysqltest
crashed there was no way to obtain a stack trace if no core file
is available. Another problem is that the embedded version of
libmysql was not behaving (crash) the same as the non-embedded with
respect to sending commands to a explicitly closed connection.
The solution is to generate a mysqltest's stack trace on crash
and to enable "reconnect" if the connection handle was explicitly
closed so the behavior matches the non-embedded one.
