This task deals with packing the sort key inside the sort buffer, which would
lead to efficient usage of the memory allocated for the sort buffer.
The changes brought by this feature are
1) Sort buffers would have sort keys of variable length
2) The format for sort keys inside the sort buffer would look like
|<sort_length><null_byte><key_part1><null_byte><key_part2>.......|
sort_length is the extra bytes that are required to store the variable
length of a sort key.
3) When packing of sort key is done we store the ORIGINAL VALUES inside
the sort buffer and not the STRXFRM form (mem-comparable sort keys).
4) Special comparison function packed_keys_comparison() is introduced
to compare 2 sort keys.
This patch also contains contributions from Sergei Petrunia.
This task deals with packing the non-sorted fields (or addon fields).
This would lead to efficient usage of the memory allocated for the sort buffer.
The changes brought by this feature are
1) Sort buffers would have records of variable length
2) Each record in the sort buffer would be stored like
<sort_key1><sort_key2>....<addon_length><null_bytes><field1><field2>....
addon_length is the extra bytes that are required to store the variable
length of addon field across different records.
3) Changes in rr_unpack_from_buffer and rr_from_tempfile to take into account
the variable length of records.

Make sure that the sort buffers can store atleast one sort key.
This is needed to make sure that all merge buffers are read else
with no sort keys some merge buffers are skipped because the code
makes a conclusion there is no data to be read.
Count the "gap" time between table accesses and display it as
r_other_time_ms in the "table" element.
* The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't add any new
my_timer_cycles() calls.
* The disadvantage is that the definition of what is done during
"other time" is not that clear: it includes checking the WHERE
(for this table), constructing index lookup tuple (for the next table)
writing to GROUP BY temporary table (as we dont account for that time
separately [yet], etc)

Maintainer mode makes all warnings errors. This patch fix warnings. Mostly about
deprecated `register` keyword.
Too much warnings came from Mroonga and I gave up on it.
Modern compilers (such as GCC 8) emit warnings that the
'register' keyword is deprecated and not valid C++17.
Let us remove most use of the 'register' keyword.
Code in 'extra/' is not touched.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
Code in QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::init_ror_merged_scan() could theoretically
have caused crashes if this was ever called from an update or delete
This also found a bug in the vcol/range.result. file.
In the function make_sortkey a tmp buffer was defined and in the absence of
param->tmp_buffer, tmp buffer used the sort_keys buffer. sort_keys buffer
has a length defined in sort_field->length, while param->tmp_buffer is
stored in param->rec_length. Make sure to use the appropriate length
based on which buffer we are using otherwise we'll overflow.
Also added a type cast to size_t during the calculation of the sort keys
buffer size to avoid an oveflow if the buffer size exceeds 32 bits.
