Fix bug lp:1009187, mdev-373, mysql bug#58628

Analysis:
The queries in question use the [unique | index]_subquery execution methods.
These methods reuse the ref keys constructed by create_ref_for_key(). The
way create_ref_for_key() works is that it doesn't store in ref.key_copy[]
store_key elements that represent constants. In particular it doesn't store
the store_key for NULL constants.

The execution of [unique | index]_subquery calls
subselect_uniquesubquery_engine::copy_ref_key, which in addition to copy
the left IN argument into a index lookup key, is supposed to detect if
the left IN argument contains NULLs. Since the store_key for the NULL
constant is not copied into the key array, the null is not detected, and
execution erroneously proceeds as if it should look for a complete match.

Solution:
The solution (unlike MySQL) is to reuse already computed information about
NULL presence. Item_in_optimizer::val_int already finds out if the left IN
operand contains NULLs. The fix propagates this to the execution methods
subselect_[unique | index]subquery_engine::exec so it knows if there were
NULL values independent of the presence of keys.

In addition the patch siplifies copy_ref_key() and the logic that hanldes
the case of NULLs in the left IN operand.

   DESCRIPTION
-    Copy ref key and check for null parts in it.
-    Depending on the nullability and conversion problems this function
-    recognizes and processes the following states :
-      1. Partial match on top level. This means IN has a value of FALSE
-         regardless of the data in the subquery table.
-         Detected by finding a NULL in the left IN operand of a top level
-         expression.
-         We may actually skip reading the subquery, so return TRUE to skip
-         the table scan in subselect_uniquesubquery_engine::exec and make
-         the value of the IN predicate a NULL (that is equal to FALSE on
-         top level).
-      2. No exact match when IN is nested inside another predicate.
-         Detected by finding a NULL in the left IN operand when IN is not
-         a top level predicate.
-         We cannot have an exact match. But we must proceed further with a
-         table scan to find out if it's a partial match (and IN has a value
-         of NULL) or no match (and IN has a value of FALSE).
-         So we return FALSE to continue with the scan and see if there are
-         any record that would constitute a partial match (as we cannot
-         determine that from the index).
-      3. Error converting the left IN operand to the column type of the
-         right IN operand. This counts as no match (and IN has the value of
-         FALSE). We mark the subquery table cursor as having no more rows
-         (to ensure that the processing that follows will not find a match)
-         and return FALSE, so IN is not treated as returning NULL.
+    Copy ref key and check for conversion problems.
 
+    If there is an error converting the left IN operand to the column type of
+    the right IN operand count it as no match. In this case IN has the value of
+    FALSE. We mark the subquery table cursor as having no more rows (to ensure
+    that the processing that follows will not find a match) and return FALSE,
+    so IN is not treated as returning NULL.
 
   RETURN
     FALSE - The value of the IN predicate is not known. Proceed to find the
-            value of the IN predicate using the determined values of
-            null_keypart and table->status.
-    TRUE  - IN predicate has a value of NULL. Stop the processing right there
-            and return NULL to the outer predicates.
+            value of the IN predicate using the copied key.
+    TRUE  - IN predicate has a value of FALSE. Stop the processing right there
+            and tell the outer predicate it is FALSE.
