Option "--without-server" still not working in 5.1

The general approach is to make sure that source files
which require thread support are only compiled if the build
really needs thread support,
which means when the server is built or a thread-safe client
library.

This required several changes:
- Make sure the subdirectories "storage/" and "plugin/" are
  only processed if the server is built, not ifclient-only.
- Make the compilation of some modules which inherently
  require threading depend on thread supportin the build.
- Separate the handling of threading in "configure.in" from
  that of server issues, threading is also needed in a
  non-server build of a thread-safe client library.

Also, "libdbug" must get built even in a client-only build,
so "dbug/" must be in the list of client directories.

In addition, calls to thread functions in source files which
can be built without thread support must use the wrapper
functions which handle the non-threaded build.
So the modules "client/mysqlimport.c" and "client/mysqlslap.c"
must call "my_thread_end()" only via "mysql_thread_end()".


Makefile.am:
  The directories "storage/" and "plugin/" contain files
  which are needed for the server only, so their contents
  is to be built only if a server is built.
  
  They must not be named unconditionally, because building
  their contents will fail unless threads are enabled.
  
  These directories are now listed in the "configure"
  variable "sql_server_dirs" which becomes part of
  "sql_union_dirs" if the server is to be built.
client/mysqlimport.c:
  Use the wrapper function "mysql_thread_end()" which
  correctly handles the case of a non-threaded build.
client/mysqlslap.c:
  Use the wrapper function "mysql_thread_end()" which
  correctly handles the case of a non-threaded build.
configure.in:
  Various changes to support builds "--without-server":
  
  1) For the unit tests, we need "libdbug".
  
  2) Separate the treatment of the server from that of the
     thread-safe client library.
  
  3) Introduce an "automake conditional" "NEED_THREAD"
     which can be checked in some "Makefile.am".
  
  4) Include "storage/" and "plugin/" in the list of
     "sql_server_dirs" so that they are handled in the
     top "Makefile.am" only if the server is to be built
     (see the change in that file).
mysys/Makefile.am:
  The code of "mf_keycache.c" in 5.1 is no longer safe
  to be built without thread support.
  (In 5.0, this was possible.)
  
  Rather than fix these issues, which is tedious and risky,
  avoid the need to ever build it without thread support:
  It is needed in the server only, which needs thread support.
  
  The only case where we build a "libmysys" without thread
  support is for a non-threaded client, where "mf_keycache"
  is not neded.
  So its inclusion in the list of source files can depend
  on the new conditional "NEED_THREAD".
unittest/mysys/Makefile.am:
  Test program "my_atomic-t" is to verify the correct handling
  of threads only, it cannot be built without thread support
  and is not needed in such cases either.
  
  Let its build depend on the new conditional "NEED_THREAD".

Unit tests directory structure
------------------------------

This is the current structure of the unit tests.  More directories
will be added over time.

mytap                 Source for the MyTAP library
mysys                 Tests for mysys components
  bitmap-t.c          Unit test for MY_BITMAP
  base64-t.c          Unit test for base64 encoding functions
examples              Example unit tests.
  core-t.c            Example of raising a signal in the middle of the test
		      THIS TEST WILL STOP ALL FURTHER TESTING!
  simple-t.c          Example of a standard TAP unit test
  skip-t.c            Example where some test points are skipped
  skip_all-t.c        Example of a test where the entire test is skipped
  todo-t.c            Example where test contain test points that are TODO
  no_plan-t.c         Example of a test with no plan (avoid this)


Executing unit tests
--------------------

To make and execute all unit tests in the directory:

   make test

Observe that the tests in the examples/ directory are just various
examples of tests and are not expected to pass.


Adding unit tests
-----------------

Add a file with a name of the format "foo-t.c" to the appropriate
directory and add the following to the Makefile.am in that directory
(where ... denotes stuff already there):

  noinst_PROGRAMS = ... foo-t

Note, it's important to have "-t" at the end of the filename, otherwise the
test won't be executed by 'make test' !


Documentation
-------------

The generated documentation is temporarily placed at:

      http://www.kindahl.net/mytap/doc/

I will move it to a better place once I figure out where and how.
