Make it possible to run mysql-test-run.pl with default test suite in different vardir.

mysql-test/include/have_outfile.inc:

mysql-test/include/test_outfile.inc:
  Use MYSQLTEST_VARDIR
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
  Create variable $MYSQLTEST_VARDIR that points to  the vardir
  Don't create a symlink from var/ to the physical vardir if it's somewhere else
  Setup a symlink(or copy dir on windows) for std_data so it is available in the physical vardir
  Use "../tmp" as slave-load-tmpdir, since the server is started in var/master-data and slave in var/slave-data they will both find the dumps in "../tmp"
