Creating a CONNECT object on client connect and pass this to the working thread which creates the THD.
Split LOCK_thread_count to different mutexes
Added LOCK_thread_start to syncronize threads
Moved most usage of LOCK_thread_count to dedicated functions
Use next_thread_id() instead of thread_id++

Other things:
- Thread id now starts from 1 instead of 2
- Added cast for thread_id as thread id is now of type my_thread_id
- Made THD->host const (To ensure it's not changed)
- Removed some DBUG_PRINT() about entering/exiting mutex as these was already logged by mutex code
- Fixed that aborted_connects and connection_errors_internal are counted in all cases
- Don't take locks for current_linfo when we set it (not needed as it was 0 before)

Added mandatory thd parameter to Item (and all derivative classes) constructor.
Added thd parameter to all routines that may create items.
Also removed "current_thd" from Item::Item. This reduced number of
pthread_getspecific() calls from 290 to 177 per OLTP RO transaction.

(changes of backported patch are very small: strlen removed, error processing fixed, view open statistics added)

stat structure (from <sys/stat.h>) is conditionally defined
to have different layout and size depending on the defined macros.
The correct macro is defined in my_config.h, which means it MUST be
included first (or, at least before <features.h> - so, practically,
before including any system headers).

includes:
* remove some remnants of "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"
* introduce LOCK_share, now LOCK_ha_data is strictly for engines
* rea_create_table() always creates .par file (even in "frm-only" mode)
* fix a 5.6 bug, temp file leak on dummy ALTER TABLE
