Showstopper and regression against 5.0.24.
Previously, we ignored seek() errors (see Bug#22828) and let seek()s
against pipes fail. Now, since we check that a seek didn't fail,
and return without reading, this bug popped up.
This restores the behavior for file-ish objects that could never be
seek()ed.
Thirty five seconds is entirely too short of a period to wait for a server
to exit. Instead, make a valliant effort to make sure it exits, and only
give up after a very long period (arbitrarily chosen as 15 minutes).
In addition, if we're being asked to restart the server, then don't try
to start again if trying to stop the server failed.
---
Return zero by default, when the script exits.
---
Set return-/exit-value based on whether we successfully dealt with the
PID-file.
---
Don't wait that long if the program we're waiting on exits. It
should only exit if the server is not going to be started.
variables
Bits higher than 2**31 were impossible to set on THD::options. It's
probably a remnant from a time when options was a 32-bit integer.
Now, use unsigned long-long constants and variables to set and clear
THD::options.

Pulled comments back to column 49.
When only one row was present, the subtraction of nearly the same number
resulted in catastropic cancellation, introducing an error in the
VARIANCE calculation near 1e-15. That was sqrt()ed to get STDDEV, the
error was escallated to near 1e-8.
The simple fix of testing for a row count of 1 and forcing that to yield
0.0 is insufficient, as two rows of the same value should also have a
variance of 0.0, yet the error would be about the same.
So, this patch changes the formula that computes the VARIANCE to be one
that is not subject to catastrophic cancellation.
In addition, it now uses only (faster-than-decimal) floating point numbers
to calculate, and renders that to other types on demand.
The code that set up data to be passed to user-defined functions was very
old and analyzed the "Type" of the data that was passed into the UDF, when
it really should analyze the "return_type", which is hard-coded for simple
Items and works correctly for complex ones like functions.

Added test at Sergei's behest.
bugs/wls in cset's comments. The targetted BUG's or WL's identifier must be specified
the first in the comments. The referred bugs wls can be typed in same as the targeted
clickable format.
If the the target of the fix is a WL and there are some references to bugs
then the first found reference is regarded as "co-target" so that the bug's identifier
comes up on the subject line along with the WL's and commit mail will update
the bug page. The latter feature can be disarmed (if there is no need to update
the referred bug's page) with typing the first a pseudo-bug pattern (bug#0).
This paticular cset will generate subject line containing bug#0 (as it was the first
referred) whereas the old version would put in the subject line the last referred
pattern (e.g bug#2147483648).
The Item_func_mod objects never had maybe_null set, so users had no reason
to expect that they can be NULL, and may therefore deduce wrong results.
Now, set maybe_null.
