TIMESTAMP field when no value has been provided.

The LOAD DATA sets the current time in the TIMESTAMP field with
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP default value when the field is detected as a null.
But when the LOAD DATA command loads data from a file that doesn't contain
enough data for all fields then the rest of fields are simply set to null
without any check. This leads to no value being inserted to such TIMESTAMP
field.

Now the read_sep_field() and the read_fixed_length() functions set current
time to the TIMESTAMP field with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP default value in all cases
when a NULL value is loaded to the field.

This bug affects multi-row INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE into table
with PRIMARY KEY of AUTO_INCREMENT field and some additional UNIQUE indices.
If the first row in multi-row INSERT contains duplicated values of UNIQUE
indices, then following rows of multi-row INSERT (with either duplicated or
unique key field values) may me applied to _arbitrary_ records of table as
updates.
This bug was introduced in 5.0. Related code was widely rewritten in 5.1, and
5.1 is already free of this problem. 4.1 was not affected too.

When updating the row during INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, we called
restore_auto_increment(), which set next_insert_id back to 0, but we
forgot to set clear_next_insert_id back to 0.
restore_auto_increment() function has been fixed.

The IN function was comparing DATE/DATETIME values either as ints or as
strings. Both methods have their disadvantages and may lead to a wrong
result.

Now IN function checks whether all of its arguments has the STRING result
types and at least one of them is a DATE/DATETIME item. If so it uses either
an object of the in_datetime class or an object of the cmp_item_datetime
class to perform its work. If the IN() function arguments are rows then
row columns are checked whether the DATE/DATETIME comparator should be used
to compare them.
The in_datetime class is used to find occurence of the item to be checked
in the vector of the constant DATE/DATETIME values. The cmp_item_datetime
class is used to compare items one by one in the DATE/DATETIME context.
Both classes obtain values from items with help of the get_datetime_value()
function and cache the left item if it is a constant one.

  Fixed compiler warnings.

 fixed coverage of out-of-mem errors

The LEAST/GREATEST functions compared DATE/DATETIME values as
strings which in some cases could lead to a wrong result.

A new member function called cmp_datetimes() is added to the
Item_func_min_max class. It compares arguments in DATETIME context
and returns index of the least/greatest argument.
The Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() function now detects when
arguments should be compared in DATETIME context and sets the newly
added flag compare_as_dates. It indicates that the cmp_datetimes() function
should be called to get a correct result.
Item_func_min_max::val_xxx() methods are corrected to call the
cmp_datetimes() function when needed.
Objects of the Item_splocal class now stores and reports correct original
field type.

When checking for applicability of join cache
we must disable its usage only if there is no
temp table in use.
When a temp table is used we can use join
cache (and it will not make the result-set 
unordered) to fill the temp table. The filesort() 
operation is then applied to the data in the temp 
table and hence is not affected by join cache
usage.
Fixed by narrowing the condition for disabling 
join cache to exclude the case where temp table
is used.
