- Let Item::save_in_field() call set_field_to_null_with_conversions() 
  for decimal type, like this is done for the other item result types.

When doing indexed search the server constructs a key image for 
faster comparison to the stored keys. While doing that it must not
perform (and stop if they fail) the additional date checks that can 
be turned on by the SQL mode because there already may be values in 
the table that don't comply with the error checks.
Fixed by ignoring these SQL mode bits while making the key image.

an error, asserts server

In case of a fatal error during filesort in find_all_keys() the error
was returned without the necessary handler uninitialization.
Fixed by changing the code so that handler uninitialization is performed
before returning the error.

Since, as of MySQL 5.0.15, CHAR() arguments larger than 255 are converted into multiple result bytes, a single CHAR() argument can now take up to 4 bytes. This patch fixes Item_func_char::fix_length_and_dec() to take this into account.
  
This patch also fixes a regression introduced by the patch for bug21513. As now we do not always have the 'name' member of Item set for Item_hex_string and Item_bin_string, an own print() method has been added to Item_hex_string so that it could correctly be printed by Item_func::print_args().

 No warning was generated when a TIMESTAMP with a non-zero time part
 was converted to a DATE value. This caused index lookup to assume
 that this is a valid conversion and was returning rows that match 
 a comparison between a TIMESTAMP value and a DATE keypart.
 Fixed by generating a warning on such a truncation.

The BIG_TABLES define wasn't enabled on Windows.
#define added

Buffer used when setting variables was not dimensioned to accomodate
trailing '\0'. An overflow by one character was therefore possible.
CS corrects limits to prevent such overflows.

               if remote server sends malicious response.

We need to check if the SHOW TABLE STATUS query we issue inside the
FEDERATED engine returned the result with the proper (or just sufficient)
number of rows. Otherwise statements like row[12] can crash the server.

Bug#30982 CHAR(..USING..) can return a not-well-formed string
Bug#30986 Character set introducer followed by a HEX string can return bad result
check_well_formed_result moved to Item from Item_str_func
fixed Item_func_char::val_str for proper ucs symbols converting
added check for well formed strings for correct conversion of constants with underscore
charset

The special case with NULL as a regular expression
was handled at prepare time. But in this special case
the item was not marked as fixed. This caused an assertion
at execution time.
Fixed my marking the item as fixed even when known to 
return NULL at prepare time.
