Override MySQL's check for accidental large queries

Bug 1070046: MySQL has an optional server config option, "MAX_JOIN_SIZE",
which throws an error if you try to run a SQL query that MySQL's strategizer
thinks will require it to evaluate more than MAX_JOIN_SIZE rows. This is
intended to prevent the user from accidentally running giant queries that
will never finish, but some Mahara queries (which are large but will finish)
can trip it. Adding SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 tels it that our queries are *not*
accidentally large.

  When trying to open the Files Folder at the Group Site the following error message is printed
  "A nonrecoverable error occured. This probably means you have encountered a bug in the system"

  +++

  I checked other groups. There all artefacts work. So it seems to be a
  special problem connected to that group. This is the main group where
  my students get their Inputs and works.

  I tried to figure out that error statement. But I am no SQL expert and
  so I hope someone can give me help.

  
  A more long term solution would be to reduce the number of joins made.
