Affected tests fixing. After the fix for st_relay_log_info::wait_for_pos() that
handles widely used select('master-bin.xxxx',pos) invoked by mysqltest
there appeared to be four tests that either tried synchronizing when
the slave was stopped or used incorrect synchronization method like
to call `sync_with_master' from the current connection being to the
master itself.
Fixed with correcting the current connection or/and using the correct
synchronization macro when possible.
slave_sql thread calls thd->clear_error() to force error to be ignored,
though this method didn't clear thd->killed state, what causes
slave_sql thread to stop.
clear thd->killed state if we ignore an error
Fixed bugs in my last changeset that made MySQL hard to compile.
Added mutex around some data that could cause table cache corruptions when using OPTIMIZE TABLE / REPAIR TABLE or automatic repair of MyISAM tables.
Added mutex around some data in the slave start/stop code that could cause THD linked list corruptions
Extended my_chsize() to allow one to specify a filler character.
Extend vio_blocking to return the old state (This made some usage of this function much simpler)
Added testing for some functions that they caller have got the required mutexes before calling the function.
Use setrlimit() to ensure that we can write core file if one specifies --core-file.
Added --slave-compressed-protocol
Made 2 the minimum length for ft_min_word_len
Added variables foreign_key_checks & unique_checks.
Less logging from replication code (if not started with --log-warnings)
Changed that SHOW INNODB STATUS requre the SUPER privilege
More DBUG statements and a lot of new code comments
added extra/mysql_install.c - will work on it in 4.0, but it does not hurt
to have it sit in 3.23 tree for now since it will eventually be backported
to 3.23 anyway
