Missed update_used_tables() call for multi-update values.

This bug happened because the executor tried to use a wrong
TABLE REF object when building access keys. It constructed
keys from fields of a materialized table from a ref object
created to construct keys from the fields of the underlying
base table. This could happen only when materialized table
was created for a non-correlated IN subquery and only
when the materialized table used for lookups.
In this case we are guaranteed to be able to construct the
keys from the fields of tables that would be outer tables
for the tables of the IN subquery.
The patch makes sure that no ref objects constructed from
fields of materialized lookup tables are to be used.

Analys:
The cause for the wrong result was that the optimizer
incorrectly chose min/max loose scan when it is not
applicable. The applicability test missed the case when
a condition on the MIN/MAX argument was OR-ed with a
condition on some other field. In this case, the MIN/MAX
condition cannot be used for loose scan.

Solution:
Extend the test check_group_min_max_predicates() to check
that the WHERE clause is of the form: "cond1 AND cond2"
where 
  cond1 - does not use min_max_column at all.
  cond2 - is an AND/OR tree with leaves in form "min_max_column $CMP$ const"
          or $CMP$ is one of the functions between, is [not] null

MDEV-3875 Wrong result (missing row) on a DISTINCT query with the same subquery in the SELECT list and GROUP BY

fix remove_dup_with_hash_index() and remove_dup_with_compare() to take NULLs into account

reached by fix_fields() (via reference) before row which it belongs to (on the second execution)
and fix_field for row did not follow usual protocol for Items with argument
(first check that the item fixed then call fix_fields).

Item_row::fix_field fixed.

MDEV-729 lp:998028 - Server crashes on normal shutdown in closefrm after executing a query from MyISAM table

don't write a key value into the record buffer - a key length can be larger then the record length.

MDEV-759 lp:998340 - Valgrind complains on simple selects containing expression DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(-1))

check item->null_value before using the result of item->val_int()

mysqldump.c: s/SET OPTION/SET/
(OPTION was, hm, optional since 3.21, so there's no need to use SET OPTION even
in the old compatibility modes)

instead of returning Access denied on the incorrect user name,
emulate the complete failed logic procedure, possibly with
the change plugin packet.

  
allow only three failed change_user per connection.
successful change_user do NOT reset the counter

tests/mysql_client_test.c:
  make --error to work for --change_user errors

This bug could result in returning 0 for the expressions of the form 
<aggregate_function>(distinct field) when the system variable  
max_heap_table_size was set to a small enough number.
It happened because the method Unique::walk() did not support
the case when more than one pass was needed to merge the trees
of distinct values saved in an external file.

Backported a fix in grant_lowercase.test from mariadb 5.5.

MDEV-4029 SELECT on information_schema using a subquery locks up the information_schema table due to incorrect mutexes handling
  
Early evaluation of subqueries in the WHERE conditions on I_S.*_STATUS tables,
otherwise the subquery on this same table will try to acquire LOCK_status twice.

The problem was that maybe_null of Item_row and its componetes was unsynced after update_used_tables() (and so pushed_cond_guards was not initialized but then requested).

Fix  updates Item_row::maybe_null on update_used_tables().

MDEV-3900 Optimizer difference between MySQL and MariaDB with stored functions in WHERE clause of UPDATE or DELETE statements

Analysis
The reason for the less efficient plan was result of a prior design decision -
to limit the eveluation of constant expressions during optimization to only
non-expensive ones. With this approach all stored procedures were considered
expensive, and were not evaluated during optimization. As a result, SPs didn't
participate in range optimization, which resulted in a plan with table scan
rather than index range scan.

Solution
Instead of considering all SPs expensive, consider expensive only those SPs
that are non-deterministic. If an SP is deterministic, the optimizer will
checj if it is constant, and may eventually evaluate it during optimization.

Don't reset maybe_null in update_used_tables(); This breaks ROLLUP
This fixed failing test in group_by.test

Subquery turned into constant too late to be excluded from grouping list so test for constant added to the create_temp_table().

The original patch with the implementation of virtual columns
did not support INSERT DELAYED into tables with virtual columns.
This patch fixes the problem.

The bug could lead to a wrong estimate of the number of expected rows
in the output of the EXPLAIN commands for queries with GROUP BY.
This could be observed in the test case for LP bug 934348.

MDEV-4020 : Make sure strmov symbol is exported by client library  on Linux (even if the server and libraries itself use stpcpy instead of it)

It is a workaround that allows myodbc built by certain distributions' (CentOS,Fedora) to peacefully coexist with mariadb client libraries.
The problem is that MyODBC in these distros needs strmov() to be exported by mysql client shared library, or else myodbc fails to load.

MDEV-3942 FROM_DAYS(<timestamp column>) returns different result in MariaDB comparing to MySQL: NULL vs 0000-00-00

fixed a regression, introduced while fixing MDEV-456

from a MERGE view.

The problem was in the lost ability to be null for the table of a left join if it
is a view/derived table.

It hapenned because setup_table_map(), was called earlier then we merged
the view or derived.

Fixed by propagating new maybe_null flag during Item::update_used_tables().

Change in join_outer.test and join_outer_jcl6.test appeared because
IS NULL reported no used tables (i.e. constant) for argument which could not be
NULL and new maybe_null flag was propagated for IS NULL argument (Item_field)
because table the Item_field belonged to changed its maybe_null status.

MDEV-3928: Assertion `example' failed in Item_cache::is_expensive_processor with a 2-level IN subquery

Analysis:
The following call stack shows that it is possible to set Item_cache::value_cached, and the relevant value
without setting Item_cache::example.

#0 Item_cache_temporal::store_packed at item.cc:8395
#1 get_datetime_value at item_cmpfunc.cc:915
#2 resolve_const_item at item.cc:7987
#3 propagate_cond_constants at sql_select.cc:12264
#4 propagate_cond_constants at sql_select.cc:12227
#5 optimize_cond at sql_select.cc:13026
#6 JOIN::optimize at sql_select.cc:1016
#7 st_select_lex::optimize_unflattened_subqueries at sql_lex.cc:3161
#8 JOIN::optimize_unflattened_subqueries at opt_subselect.cc:4880
#9 JOIN::optimize at sql_select.cc:1554

The fix is to set Item_cache_temporal::example even when the value is
set directly by Item_cache_temporal::store_packed. This makes the
Item_cache_temporal object consistent.
