Description:
When using statement-based logging, and the autocommit mode is changed between two statements, the next Query_log_event will be log the autocommit mode. When the binlog is later processed by mysqlbinlog, a SET statement with no variable will be printed:

SET /*!*/;

The reason is that mysqlbinlog (in log_event.cc, Query_log_event::print_query_header(), where it calls print_set_option()) will detect that flags2 changed, so it will print a 'SET'. Then it will check the bits of flags2 that it knows about, and print a variable to set for each of them. However, it fails to test the OPTION_NOT_AUTOCOMMIT bit, so if that is the only bit that changed, no variable will be printed after 'SET'.

How to repeat:
source include/master-slave.inc
use test;
create table t1 (a int);
set autocommit = 0;
insert into t1 values (1);

Run mysqlbinlog on master-bin.000001: it produces this:
https://intranet.mysql.com/secure/paste/displaypaste.php?codeid=3453
See the line above the 'insert' statement.

Suggested fix:
If we want to replicate the autocommit flag, print it here.
If we don't want to replicate the autocommit flag, remove OPTION_NOT_AUTOCOMMIT from OPTIONS_WRITTEN_TO_BIN_LOG (and update documentation for Query_log_event, description of flags2).

  BUG#34541: mysqlbinlog prints 'set;' in stm mode after changing autocommit mode
  Problem: a typo in the code. When autocommit, foreign_key_checks,
  sql_auto_is_null, or unique_checks changes, it prints "SET", and then a
  comma-separated list of assignments. However, it does not print the
  assignment to the @@autocommit variable.
  Fix: print the @@autocommit variable.
