Description:
A lot of funcs_1 tests fail if the embedded server is used.

I assume that the embedded server behaves correct
but the tests are insensitive to its limitations.

How to repeat:
cd mysql-test
./mysql-test-run.pl --embedded --force --suite=funcs_1

Suggested fix:
Variants:
1. "Cheap" solution with no increased coverage for the
   embedded server
   Add
   "--source include/not_embedded.inc"
   to the corresponding scripts
2. More "expensive" solution with increased coverage for
   the embedded server + easier maintenance in future
   Split the affected tests into
   - a test runnable with/without embedded server
   - a test which gets skipped in case of embedded server

More than 40 tests fail if the embedded server is used.

I will go with a decision per test which is in most cases
skip testing if we meet the embedded server, because
expensive changes just for having better coverage in case
of embedded server and "high end features for fat
applications" like stored procedures, triggers, 
information_schema are not to justify if we think about
other areas where even the not embedded server is not
enough tested.
