Description:
When run mysql test suite on Windows, some of the tests will hang and timeout, these include backup, drop, query_cache, etc.  All these test cases use 'send' command to run queries in parallel, after debug the code, I found the reason is that mysqltest.c is not compiled with EMBEDDED_LIBRARY macro defined when building mysqltest_embedded.exe, so it will not start a new thread when run a  query with 'send' command.

How to repeat:
Run ./mysql-test-run.pl --embedded-server, you will see tests such as bakcup, drop, query_cache, etc  hang and finally timeout.

Suggested fix:
compiled mysqltest.c with EMBEDDED_LIBRARY definition when building mysqltest_embedded target.

The following is a patch for this:

All the executables built in libmysqld/examples/ need the -DEMBEDDED_LIBRARY define.

Thanks!

Noted in 5.1.24, 6.0.5 changelogs.

On Windows, mysqltest_embedded.exe did not properly execute the send
command.
