    Analysis:
    --------
    A table created using a query of the format:
    CREATE TABLE t1 AS SELECT REPEAT('A',1000) DIV 1 AS a;
    breaks the Row Based Replication.
    
    The query above creates a table having a field of datatype
    'bigint' with a display width of 3000 which is beyond the
    maximum acceptable value of 255.
    
    In the RBR mode, CREATE TABLE SELECT statement is
    replicated as a combination of CREATE TABLE statement
    equivalent to one the returned by SHOW CREATE TABLE and
    row events for rows inserted. When this CREATE TABLE event
    is executed on the slave, an error is reported:
    Display width out of range for column 'a' (max = 255)
    
    The following is the output of 'SHOW CREATE TABLE t1':
    CREATE TABLE t1(`a` bigint(3000) DEFAULT NULL)
                      ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
    
    The problem is due to the combination of two facts:
    
    1) The above CREATE TABLE SELECT statement uses the display
       width of the result of DIV operation as the display width
       of the column created without validating the width for out
       of bound condition.
    2) The DIV operation incorrectly returns the length of its first
       argument as the display width of its result; thus allowing
       creation of a table with an incorrect display width of 3000
       for the field.
    
    Fix:
    ----
    This fix changes the DIV operation implementation to correctly
    evaluate the display width of its result. We check if DIV's
    results estimated width crosses maximum width for integer
    value (21) and if yes set it to this maximum value.
    
    This patch also fixes fixes maximum display width evaluation
    for DIV function when its first argument is in UCS2.
