BUG#16613004 PARTITIONING DDL, CRASH IN FIELD_VARSTRING::CMP_MAX

Problem :
---------
The specific issue reported in this bug is with range/list column
value that is allocated and initialized by evaluating partition
expression(item tree) during execution. After evaluation the range
list value is marked fixed [part_column_list_val]. During next
execution, we don't re-evaluate the expression and use the old value
since it is marked fixed.

Solution :
----------
One way to solve the issue is to mark all column values as not fixed
during clone so that the expression is always re-evaluated once we
attempt partition_info::fix_column_value_functions() after cloning
the part_info object during execution of DDL on partitioned table.
