Bug#30245: A wrong type of a BIT field is reported when grouped by it.

HEAP tables can't index BIT fields. Due to this when grouping by such fields is
needed they are converted to a fields of the LONG type when temporary table
is being created. But a side effect of this is that a wrong type of BIT
fields is returned to a client.

Now the JOIN::prepare and the create_distinct_group functions are create
additional hidden copy of BIT fields to preserve original fields untouched.
New hidden fields are used for grouping instead.
