message:
  fix for BUG#50120 "Valgrind errors in any test, inside mysqltest"
  Problem was that as v->name[v->name_len] may be uninitialized (which is ok per se),
  it shouldn't be used in an if(). We remove this zero_the_char/restore_it logic by
  rather zero-terminating the v->name string when we create it in var_init().
