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().

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.

                  precision > 0 && scale <= precision'.

A sign of a resulting item of the IFNULL function was not
updated and the maximal length of this result was calculated
improperly. Correct algorithm was copy&pasted from the IF
function implementation.

Even though it returns NULL, the MAKETIME function did not have this property set,
causing a failed assertion (designed to catch exactly this).
Fixed by setting the nullability property of MAKETIME().

Completion of previous patch. Negative number were denied
as the second argument to NAME_CONST.

  Item_sum_distinct::setup(THD*): Assertion

There was an assertion to detect a bug in ROLLUP
implementation. However the assertion is not true
when used in a subquery context with non-cacheable
statements.
Fixed by turning the assertion to accepted case
(just like it's done for the other aggregate functions). 

when a divisor is less than 1 and its fractional part is very long.
For example:
1 % .123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789;

Stack buffer overflow has been fixed in the do_div_mod function.

As the result of DOUBLE claculations can be bigger
than DBL_MAX constant we use in code, we shouldn't use this constatn
as a biggest possible value.
Particularly the rtree_pick_key function set 'min_area= DBL_MAX' relying
that any rtree_area_increase result will be less so we return valid
key. Though in rtree_area_increase function we calculate the area
of the rectangle, so the result can be 'inf' if the rectangle is
huge enough, which is bigger than DBL_MAX.

Code of the rtree_pick_key modified so we always return a valid key.

were accidentally removed during a previous rototill of this
code.  Fixes bug#27692.
  
While it can be argued we should strive to provide a 'secure by
default' installation, this happens to be the setup currently
documented in the manual as the default, so defer changes that
improve security out of the box to a co-ordinated effort later
on.
  
For now, make a note about the test databases and anonymous user
in mysql_install_db and recommend that mysql_secure_installation
be ran for users wishing to remove these defaults.
