WL#4061: Online Backup: Beta Release

Affects: Server-6.0   —   Status: Complete 

Prepare online backup for the first beta release of Online Backup.

This is a minimal set of features that could still be perceived 
as "fully baked".

This release shall support the following features:

- SQL commmands BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE
- Database-level backup and restore 
- Metadata backup includes database and table CREATE and GRANT statements
- Point-in-time Recovery
- Default (blocking logical table scan) driver for all storage engines
- Consistent Snapshot (non-blocking logical table scan) driver for storage
  engines that support consistent read (e.g., InnoDB)
- Native drivers for MyISAM and Archive storage engines

Some notes:
- A milestone is reached if the code is pushed into team tree.
- The team tree shall be kept quite up to date with main tree.
- BUG#30340 is a duplicate of BUG#31538
- WL#4062 is a specialization of WL#3573 and WL#4116 is a
  specialization of WL#3329.  The original tasks contain ideas for
  extra features that we will not support.

POSTPONED TO 6.1
- WL#4073 Backup and restore table permissions
- WL#3588 OB: SHOW GRANTS with more information
