Bug#28494: Grouping by Item_func_set_user_var produces incorrect result.
The end_update() function uses the Item::save_org_in_field() function to save original values of items into the group buffer. But for the Item_func_set_user_var this method was mapped to the save_in_field method. The latter function wrongly decides to use the result_field. This leads to saving incorrect value in the grouping buffer and wrong result of the whole query. The can_use_result_field argument of the bool type is added to the Item_func_set_user_var::save_in_field() function. If it is set to FALSE then the item's result field won't be used. Otherwise it will be detected whether the result field will be used (old behaviour). Two wrapping functions for the function above are added to the Item_func_set_user_var class: the save_in_field(Field *field, bool no_conversions) - it calls the above function with the can_use_result_field set to TRUE. the save_org_in_field(Field *field) - same, but the can_use_result_field is set to FALSE.
