fix for "show variables" not displaying the scheduler bug #582975

[Monty Taylor (mordred)]

Looks mostly good. However ...

opt_scheduler_default= (char*) "multi_thread";

Casting a static const char * to a char * is something I've been trying to get rid of in the tree in general. Is there a reason you needed to go away from from the const string here?

The constructor for sys_var_const_str_ptr() expects a char** so to leave the const string here I would need to do a cast of (char*) opt_scheduler_default.c_str() or strcpy() to set the value of opt_scheduler which gets passed into sys_var_const_str_ptr(). What I did above seemed like the best choice. I looked into changing the constructor for sys_var_const_str_ptr() to accept const char** but that sent me down problems with other variables that were not const. Maybe Im missing something?

[Monty Taylor (mordred)]

Ok. Fair enough. I can't wait until this is systemically fixed. I really hate all the casting nonsense.
