BUG#32407: Impossible to do point-in-time recovery from older binlog

Problem: it is unsafe to read base64-printed events without first
reading the Format_description_log_event (FD).  Currently, mysqlbinlog
cannot print the FD.

As a side effect, another bug has also been fixed: When mysqlbinlog
--start-position=X was specified, no ROLLBACK was printed. I changed
this, so that ROLLBACK is always printed.

This patch does several things:

 - Format_description_log_event (FD) now print themselves in base64
   format.

 - mysqlbinlog is now able to print FD events.  It has three modes:
    --base64-output=auto    Print row events in base64 output, and print
                            FD event.  The FD event is printed even if
                            it is outside the range specified with
                            --start-position, because it would not be
                            safe to read row events otherwise. This is
                            the default.

    --base64-output=always  Like --base64-output=auto, but also print
                            base64 output for query events.  This is
                            like the old --base64-output flag, which
                            is also a shorthand for
                            --base64-output=always

    --base64-output=never   Never print base64 output, generate error if
                            row events occur in binlog.  This is
                            useful to suppress the FD event in binlogs
                            known not to contain row events (e.g.,
                            because BINLOG statement is unsafe,
                            requires root privileges, is not SQL, etc)

 - the BINLOG statement now handles FD events correctly, by setting
   the thread's rli's relay log's description_event_for_exec to the
   loaded event.

   In fact, executing a BINLOG statement is almost the same as reading
   an event from a relay log.  Before my patch, the code for this was
   separated (exec_relay_log_event in slave.cc executes events from
   the relay log, mysql_client_binlog_statement in sql_binlog.cc
   executes BINLOG statements).  I needed to augment
   mysql_client_binlog_statement to do parts of what
   exec_relay_log_event does.  Hence, I did a small refactoring and
   moved parts of exec_relay_log_event to a new function, which I
   named apply_event_and_update_pos.  apply_event_and_update_pos is
   called both from exec_relay_log_event and from
   mysql_client_binlog_statement.

 - When a non-FD event is executed in a BINLOG statement, without
   previously executing a FD event in a BINLOG statement, it generates
   an error, because that's unsafe.  I took a new error code for that:
   ER_NO_FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT_BEFORE_BINLOG_STATEMENTS.

   In order to get a decent error message containing the name of the
   event, I added the class method char*
   Log_event::get_type_str(Log_event_type type), which returns a
   string name for the given Log_event_type.  This is just like the
   existing char* Log_event::get_type_str(), except it is a class
   method that takes the log event type as parameter.

   I also added PRE_GA_*_ROWS_LOG_EVENT to Log_event::get_type_str(),
   so that names of old rows event are properly printed.

 - When reading an event, I added a check that the event type is known
   by the current Format_description_log_event. Without this, it may
   crash on bad input (and I was struck by this several times).

 - I patched the following test cases, which all contain BINLOG
   statements for row events which must be preceded by BINLOG
   statements for FD events:
    - rpl_bug31076

While I was here, I fixed some small things in log_event.cc:

 - replaced hard-coded 4 by EVENT_TYPE_OFFSET in 3 places

 - replaced return by DBUG_VOID_RETURN in one place

 - The name of the logfile can be '-' to indicate stdin.  Before my
   patch, the code just checked if the first character is '-'; now it
   does a full strcmp().  Probably, all arguments that begin with a -
   are already handled somewhere else as flags, but I still think it
   is better that the code reflects what it is supposed to do, with as
   little dependencies as possible on other parts of the code.  If we
   one day implement that all command line arguments after -- are
   files (as most unix tools do), then we need this.

I also fixed the following in slave.cc:

 - next_event() was declared twice, and queue_event was not static but
   should be static (not used outside the file).
