InterfaceError on connect
Removed the bool flag from the st_mysql_options struct, since it adds
another word in size to the memory size and shifts member memory locations
down, both of which break binary-interface compatibility.
Instead, use a flag, 2**30, in the client_options bit-field to represent
that the client should check the SSL certificate of the server.
These variables must be defined for Netware, or it fails
to recognize hard paths starting from the device.

There were two problems: RESET QUERY CACHE took a long time to complete
and other threads were blocked during this time.
The patch does three things:
1 fixes a bug with improper use of test-lock-test_again technique.
AKA Double-Checked Locking is applicable here only in few places.
2 Somewhat improves performance of RESET QUERY CACHE.
Do my_hash_reset() instead of deleting elements one by one. Note
however that the slowdown also happens when inserting into sorted
list of free blocks, should be rewritten using balanced tree.
3 Makes RESET QUERY CACHE non-blocking.
The patch adjusts the locking protocol of the query cache in the
following way: it introduces a flag flush_in_progress, which is
set when Query_cache::flush_cache() is in progress. This call
sets the flag on enter, and then releases the lock. Every other
call is able to acquire the lock, but does nothing if
flush_in_progress is set (as if the query cache is disabled).
The only exception is the concurrent calls to
Query_cache::flush_cache(), that are blocked until the flush is
over. When leaving Query_cache::flush_cache(), the lock is
acquired and the flag is reset, and one thread waiting on
Query_cache::flush_cache() (if any) is notified that it may
proceed.
Fix when __attribute__() is stubbed out, add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT() for specifying
__attribute__((format(...))) safely, make more use of the format attribute,
and fix some of the warnings that this turns up (plus a bonus unrelated one).

The bug was caused by lack of checks for misuse in mysql_real_query.
A stored procedure always returns at least one result, which is the
status of execution of the procedure itself.
This result, or so-called OK packet, is similar to a result
returned by INSERT/UPDATE/CREATE operations: it contains the overall
status of execution, the number of affected rows and the number of
warnings. The client test program attached to the bug did not read this
result and ivnoked the next query. In turn, libmysql had no check for
such scenario and mysql_real_query was simply trying to send that query
without reading the pending response, thus messing up the communication
protocol.
The fix is to return an error from mysql_real_query when it's called
prior to retrieval of all pending results.
The problem was that when converting a string to an exact number,
rounding didn't work, because conversion didn't understand
approximate numbers notation.
Fix: a new function for string-to-number conversion was implemented,
which is aware of approxinate number notation (with decimal point
and exponent, e.g. -19.55e-1)
Changed the error reporting (and a crash) when inserting data into a
MERGE table that has no underlying tables or no INSERT_METHOD specified
by reporting that it is read-only.
