BUG#16420: Events: timestamps become UTC

BUG#26429: SHOW CREATE EVENT is incorrect for an event that
           STARTS NOW()
BUG#26431: Impossible to re-create an event from backup if its
           STARTS clause is in the past
WL#3698: Events: execution in local time zone

The problem was that local times specified by the user in AT, STARTS
and ENDS of CREATE EVENT/ALTER EVENT statement were converted to UTC,
and the original time zone was forgotten.  This way, event scheduler
couldn't honor Daylight Saving Time shifts, and times shown to the
user were also in UTC.  Additionally, CREATE EVENT didn't allow times
in the past, thus preventing straightforward event restoration from
old backups.

This patch reworks event scheduler time computations, performing them
in the time zone associated with the event.  Also it allows times to
be in the past.

The patch adds time_zone column to mysql.event table.

NOTE: The patch is almost final, but the bug#9953 should be pushed
first.


client/mysqldump.c:
  Before every CREATE EVENT, output its time zone.
mysql-test/include/wait_condition.inc:
  Add optional $wait_timeout parameter.
mysql-test/lib/init_db.sql:
  Add time_zone column.
mysql-test/r/events.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/r/events_bugs.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/r/events_grant.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/r/events_restart_phase1.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/r/events_scheduling.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/r/ps.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/r/system_mysql_db.result:
  Update result.
mysql-test/t/events.test:
  Remove STARTS from the result, as it depends on current time.
mysql-test/t/events_bugs.test:
  Time in the past is no longer an error.
mysql-test/t/events_restart_phase1.test:
  Fill new column 'time_zone' in mysql.event.
mysql-test/t/events_scheduling.test:
  Cleanup: disable event scheduler.
scripts/mysql_create_system_tables.sh:
  Add new column 'time_zone' to mysql.event.
scripts/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql:
  Add new column 'time_zone' to mysql.event.
sql/event_data_objects.cc:
  The essence of the change is the following:
   - for internal times use my_time_t instead of TIME.  Assignment and
     comparison is done now on plain numbers.
   - in init_execute_at(), init_starts(), init_ends() convert given time
     to number of seconds since Epoch (aka Unix time, in UTC).
   - handle time_zone field loading and storing.
   - in get_next_time(), Unix time is converted back to event time zone,
     interval is added, and the result is converted to UTC again.
   - fix Event_timed::get_create_event() to report STARTS and ENDS.
   - before executing the event body we set thread time zone to the
     event time zone.
sql/event_data_objects.h:
  Add time_zone member to Event_basic class.
  
  Store internal times in my_time_t (number of seconds since Epoch),
  rather than in broken down TIME structure.
sql/event_db_repository.cc:
  Add time_zone column handling.
  
  Give a warning and do not create an event if its execution time is in
  the past, and ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE is set, because such an event
  should be dropped by that time.  Also, do not allow ALTER EVENT to
  set execution time in the past when ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE is set.
sql/event_db_repository.h:
  Add enum member for new time zone column.
sql/event_queue.cc:
  Replace handling of broken down times with simple handling of
  my_time_t.
sql/event_queue.h:
  Store internal times in my_time_t (number of seconds since Epoch),
  rather than in broken down TIME structure.
sql/event_scheduler.cc:
  Add TODO comment.
sql/events.cc:
  Send time_zone column for SHOW CREATE EVENT.
sql/share/errmsg.txt:
  Update error message, and add two more errors.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  Add TIME_ZONE column to the output of SHOW EVENTS.
mysql-test/r/events_time_zone.result:

+Below we should see the following:
+- On Jan 31 only e2 is executed, because we started later than
+e1 should have been executed.  Offset of e2 is 0 because of
+the late start, not 1.
+- The next execution is on Feb 28 (last day of Feb).  Both events
+are executed in their times, offsets are -1 and 1.
+- The next time is Mar 31.  Because the time of event
+execution was skipped over, events are executed right away,
+offsets are 2 and 2.
+- The next time is Apr 30.  Events are again executed in their
+appointed times, offsets are -1 and 1.

+        STARTS is almost always in the past according to the local
+        time too.  However, in the time zone that has backward
+        Daylight Saving Time shift, the following may happen: suppose
+        we have a backward DST shift at certain date after 2:59:59,
+        i.e. local time goes 1:59:59, 2:00:00, ... , 2:59:59, (shift
+        here) 2:00:00 (again), ... , 2:59:59 (again), 3:00:00, ... .
+        Now suppose the time has passed the first 2:59:59, has been
+        shifted backward, and now is (the second) 2:20:00.  The user
+        does CREATE EVENT with STARTS 'current-date 2:40:00'.  Local
+        time 2:40:00 from create statement is treated by time
+        functions as the first such time, so according to UTC it comes
+        before the second 2:20:00.  But according to local time it is
+        obviously in the future, so we end up in this branch.
+
+        Since we are in the second pass through 2:00:00--2:59:59, and
+        any local time form this interval is treated by system
+        functions as the time from the first pass, we have to find the
+        time for the next execution that is past the DST-affected
+        interval (past the second 2:59:59 for our example,
+        i.e. starting from 3:00:00).  We do this in the loop until the
+        local time is mapped onto future UTC time.  'start' time is in
+        the past, so we may use 'do { } while' here, and add the first
+        interval right away.
+
+        Alternatively, it could be that local_now >= local_start.  Now
+        for the example above imagine we do CREATE EVENT with STARTS
+        'current-date 2:10:00'.  Local start 2:10 is in the past (now
+        is local 2:20), so we add an interval, and get next execution
+        time, say, 2:40.  It is in the future according to local time,
+        but, again, since we are in the second pass through
+        2:00:00--2:59:59, 2:40 will be converted into UTC time in the
+        past.  So we will end up in this branch again, and may add
+        intervals in a 'do { } while' loop.
+
+        Note that for any given event we may end up here only if event
+        next execution time will map to the time interval that is
+        passed twice, and only if the server was started during the
+        second pass, or the event is being created during the second
+        pass.  After that, we never will get here (unless we again
+        start the server during the second pass).  In other words,
