phpMyAdmn work during the fortieth week

The fortieth week of work was mostly spent on fixing the bugs in the upcoming 4.5 version. 

While implementing the export templates I noticed that lock_table directive is not repopulated similar to other directive when back button is click and this was fixed. Further, quite a lot of the links to new system variables in phpMyAdmin's Variables page  was missing, and these were also added. Bug #4854 was fixed allowing users to use multiple servers in parallel. Earlier this was not possible and a series of fixes such as introducing IV per server finally led to this fix.

Here is the list of bugs fixed and investigated.

Bugs fixed
#4854 "Error: Token mismatch" when using multiple servers in parallel
#4973 Show a warning when a user account allowing any user from localhost to connect (partial fix)
#4976 Timepicker CSS issues in Original theme
#4978 Cancelled page settings changes do not revert the UI
Correctly set lock_table directive when repopulating on back button click
All columns listed for xaxis are selected in query charts
Saved chart image does not have a proper name or an extension
Add missing links Variables page to MySQL documentation for system variables
Fix height of the selection box of monitor charts
Remove menu options that do not make sense for visual query builder
Remove unused parameter causing notices

Bugs investigated
#4864 Tried to set secure cookie on non-secure connection

Among feature improvements, the most notable one is the use of native tabs in server plugin page in place of the jQuery tabs. Additionally, the process list was updated to show additional columns for MariaDB and as discussed during the last team meeting names of some of the pmadb directives were changed. 

Feature requests implemented
#1685 mariadb processlist
Underscores are preferred to separate words in configuration storage table names/directives
Use phpmyadmin's secondary tabs instead of jQuery tabs in server plugins page
Set indeterminate for export checkboxes when either data or structure is not selected

Feature requests investigated
#1684 Use GET only for read only operations
