Implementation of WL#1469 (Greedy algorithm to search for an optimal execution plan).

mysql-test/r/subselect.result:
  Table pre-sorting before optimization makes the optimizer select a different plan, this change fixes the plan.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Added new status variable last_query_cost that contains the cost of the last compiled query.
sql/mysqld.cc:
  * Added new system variable 'plan_search_depth' to control the exhaustiveness of the search for an optimal query plan.
  * Added new system variable 'heuristic' to control the use of query optimization heuristic.
  * Added new status variable 'last_query_cost' that contains the cost of the last compiled query.
sql/set_var.cc:
  * Added new system variable 'plan_search_depth' to control the exhaustiveness of the search for an optimal query plan.
  * Added new system variable 'heuristic' to control the use of query optimization heuristic.
sql/sql_class.h:
  * Added new system variable 'plan_search_depth' to control the exhaustiveness of the search for an optimal query plan.
  * Added new system variable 'heuristic' to control the use of query optimization heuristic.
sql/sql_select.cc:
  Added a combined greedy/exhaustive query optimization algorithm.
  * The greedy search algorithm is implemented in function 'greedy_search'.
  * The exhaustive search with controlled search depth is implemented in function 'find_best_limited_depth', a modification of 'find_best'.
  * The selection of the best access path and its cost computation is factored out from 'find_best' into function 'best_access_path'.
  * In addition:
    - added pre-sorting for the query tables before they get optimized
    - factored out the optimization of STRAIGHT_JOIN into a separate procedure
sql/sql_select.h:
  Added new field to st_position to support the greedy optimizer.
  Added a comment to class JOIN.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  Added a case to 'mysqld_show' to print double status variables.
sql/structs.h:
  Added a new type of status variables SHOW_DOUBLE

+  Find the best access path (e.g. indexes) from table 's' to the tables in the

+
+  SYNOPSIS
+    best_access_path()
+    join         Valid partial QEP.
+    s            Table access plan from join->best_ref being added to join.
+    rest_tables  A bit-map where a bit is set for each table accessed in 'join'.
+    idx          Index into 'join->positions' that points to the next undecided
+                 table access plan in 'join->positions' ('s' in this case).
+                 Thus: (idx == join->tables - card(rest_tables) - 1)
+    record_count The number of records acessed by the partial QEP 'join'.
+    read_time    Time needed to execute 'join'.
+
+  MODIFIES
+    join->positions The best access path from 's' to 'join' and the
+                    corresponding cost are stored in 'join->positions'.

+    heuristic    Specifies the pruning heuristics that should be applied during

+
+  DESCRIPTION
+    The search procedure uses a hybrid greedy/exhaustive search with controlled
+    exhaustiveness. The search is performed in N = card(rest_tables) steps.
+    Each step uses a procedure to estimate how promising is each of the
+    unoptimized tables, selects the most promising table, and extends the
+    current partial QEP with that table.
+    Currently this estimate is performed by calling 'find_best_limited_depth'
+    to evaluate all extensions of the current QEP with size 'search_depth'.
+    The most 'promising' table is the one with least expensive extension.
+    There are two extreme cases:
+    1. When (card(rest_tables) < search_depth), the estimate finds the best
+       complete continuation of the partial QEP. This continuation can be
+       used directly as a result of the search.
+    2. When (search_depth == 1) the 'find_best_limited_depth' consideres the
+       extension of the current QEP with each of the remaining unoptimized
+       tables.
+    All other cases are in-between these two extremes. Thus the parameter
+    'search_depth' controlls the exhaustiveness of the search.
+
+  MODIFIES
+    Intermediate and final results of the procedure are stored in 'join':
+    join->positions      modified for every partial QEP that is explored
+    join->best_positions modified for the current best complete QEP
+    join->best_read      modified for the current best complete QEP
+    join->best_ref       might be partially reordered
+    The final optimal plan is stored in 'join->best_positions'. The
+    corresponding cost of the optimal plan is in 'join->best_read'.
