updates for LOAD DATA FROM MASTER + some cleanup of replication code

include/mysqld_error.h:
  new errors
mysql-test/r/rpl000009.result:
  test load data from master
mysql-test/t/rpl000009.test:
  test load data from master
sql/mini_client.cc:
  extra functionality needed for load data from master and other things
sql/mini_client.h:
  addition to API
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  mysql_create_db()/mysql_rm_db() now return a value
sql/share/english/errmsg.txt:
  more error messages
sql/slave.cc:
  cleanup of fetch_nx_table()
sql/slave.h:
  cleanup of fetch_nx_table()
sql/sql_base.cc:
  remove unused code originally written for retrieving a non-existent table in slave thread
sql/sql_class.cc:
  remove unused replication variables
sql/sql_class.h:
  remove unused replication variabled
sql/sql_db.cc:
  make mysql_create_db()/mysql_rm_db() work with thd == 0 
  (do not write messages to the net) and instead return success/error
sql/sql_lex.h:
  added SQLCOM_LOAD_MASTER_DATA
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  LOAD MASTER DATA, cleanup of LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER
sql/sql_repl.cc:
  LOAD DATA FROM MASTER
sql/sql_repl.h:
  LOAD DATA FROM MASTER
