Merge with MySQL 5.1, with following additions:

- Moved some code from innodb_plugin to xtradb, to ensure that all tests runs
- Did changes in pbxt and maria storage engines becasue of changes in thd->query
- Reverted wrong code in sql_table.cc for how ROW_FORMAT is used.

This is a re-commit of Monty's merge to eliminate an extra commit from
MySQL-5.1.42 that was accidentally included in the merge.

This is a merge of the MySQL 5.1.41 clone-off (clone-5.1.41-build). In
case there are any extra changes done before final MySQL 5.1.41
release, these will need to be merged later before MariaDB 5.1.41
release.
