Bug Description

I'd like the ability to control whether queries are allowed to use temp tables and filesorts. The following could be very useful as global and session variables:

- Permit or deny on-disk temporary tables.
- Permit or deny on-disk filesorts.
- Set a max permitted temp table size on disk; if exceeded, abort and return an error.
- Ditto for filesort.

Right now a storm of bad queries can easily DOS a server, and this could prevent that.
