post-review fixes as indicated by Serg.
manual testing of error cases done in 5.0 due to support for DBUG_EXECUTE_IF
to insert errors.
Unable to write test case for mysql-test until 5.1 due to support for setting
debug options at runtime.
The idea of the patch
is that every cursor gets its own lock id for table level locking.
Thus cursors are protected from updates performed within the same
connection. Additionally a list of transient (must be closed at
commit) cursors is maintained and all transient cursors are closed
when necessary. Lastly, this patch adds support for deadlock
timeouts to TLL locking when using cursors.
