Fix for bug #31207: Test "join_nested" shows different strategy on IA64

CPUs / Intel's ICC compile

The bug is a combination of two problems:

1. IA64/ICC MySQL binaries use glibc's qsort(), not the one in mysys.

2. The order relation implemented by join_tab_cmp() is not transitive,
i.e. it is possible to choose such a, b and c that (a < b) && (b < c)
but (c < a). This implies that result of a sort using the relation
implemented by join_tab_cmp() depends on the order in which
elements are compared, i.e. the result is implementation-specific. Since
choose_plan() uses qsort() to pre-sort the
join tables using join_tab_cmp() as a compare function, the results of
the sorting may vary depending on qsort() implementation.

It is neither possible nor important to implement a better ordering
algorithm in join_tab_cmp(). Therefore the only way to fix it is to
force our own qsort() to be used by renaming it to my_qsort(), so we don't depend
on linker to decide that.

This patch also "fixes" bug #20530: qsort redefinition violates the
standard.


include/my_sys.h:
  Renamed qsort() and qsort2() to my_qsort() and my_qsort2(). Since
  previously we relied on stdlib.h to provide a declaration for qsort(), a
  separate declaration for my_qsort() is now required.
libmysql/Makefile.shared:
  Added mf_qsort.c to libmysql, since my_lib.c now uses my_qsort() instead of qsort().
myisam/ft_boolean_search.c:
  Replaced qsort2() with my_qsort2().

  Replaced qsort2() with my_qsort2().
myisam/myisampack.c:
  Replaced qsort() with my_qsort().
myisam/sort.c:
  Replaced qsort2() with my_qsort2().
mysys/mf_keycache.c:
  Replaced qsort() with my_qsort().
mysys/mf_qsort.c:

  Replaced qsort2() with my_qsort2().
mysys/my_lib.c:
  Replaced qsort() with my_qsort().
mysys/queues.c:
  Replaced qsort2() with my_qsort2().
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
  Replaced qsort2() with my_qsort2().
sql/item_cmpfunc.h:
  Replaced qsort2() with my_qsort2().

  Replaced qsort() with my_qsort().
