When creating a temporary table the concise column type
 of a string expression is decided based on its length:
 - if its length is under 512 it is stored as either 
   varchar or char.
 - otherwise it is stored as a BLOB.
 
 There is a flag (convert_blob_length) to create_tmp_field 
 that, when >0 allows to force creation of a varchar if the
 max blob length is under convert_blob_length.
 However it must be verified that convert_blob_length 
 (settable through a SQL option in some cases) is 
 under the maximum that can be stored in a varchar column.
 While performing that check for expressions in 
 create_tmp_field_from_item the max length of the blob was
 used instead. This causes blob columns to be created in the
 heap temp table used by GROUP_CONCAT (where blobs must not
 be created in the temp table because of the constant 
 convert_blob_length that is passed to create_tmp_field() ).
 And since these blob columns are not expected in that place
 we get wrong results.
 Fixed by checking that the value of the flag variable is 
 in the limits that fit into VARCHAR instead of the max length
 of the blob column.

  This is a fix for the memory corruption occurred in one of test cases

  The memory corruption happened because in some rare cases the function
  count_field_types underestimated the number of elements in
  in the array param->items_to_copy.
  
  Currently it's not guaranteed that after JOIN::prepare() the 
  used_tables attribute is calculated for all items. For example
  for the expression SUM(outer_ref)+1 used_tables() must return
  OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT. Yet by the moment when the used_tables
  attribute is calculated in JOIN::prepare SUM(outer_ref) has
  not been substituted for Item_aggregate_ref yet.
  By this reason additional calls of the method update_used_tables
  are needed for some items passed as parameters to the function
  create_tmp_table.

The problem in this bug is when we create temporary tables. When
temporary tables are created for unions, there is some 
inferrence being carried out regarding the type of the column.
Whenever this column type is inferred to be REAL (i.e. FLOAT or
DOUBLE), MySQL will always try to maintain exact precision, and
if that is not possible (there are hardware limits, since FLOAT
and DOUBLE are stored as approximate values) will switch to
using approximate values. The problem here is that at this point
the information about number of significant digits is not 
available. Furthermore, the number of significant digits should
be increased for the AVG function, however, this was not properly 
handled. There are 4 parts to the problem:

#1: DOUBLE and FLOAT fields don't display their proper display 
lengths in max_display_length(). This is hard-coded as 53 for 
DOUBLE and 24 for FLOAT. Now changed to instead return the 
field_length.

#2: Type holders for temporary tables do not preserve the 
max_length of the Item's from which they are created, and is 
instead reverted to the 53 and 24 from above. This causes 
*all* fields to get non-fixed significant digits.

#3: AVG function does not update max_length (display length)
when updating number of decimals.

#4: The function that switches to non-fixed number of 
significant digits should use DBL_DIG + 2 or FLT_DIG + 2 as 
cut-off values (Since fixed precision does not use the 'e' 
notation)

Of these points, #1 is the controversial one, but this 
change is preferred and has been cleared with Monty. The 
function causes quite a few unit tests to blow up and they had
to b changed, but each one is annotated and motivated. We 
frequently see the magical 53 and 24 give way to more relevant
numbers.

  with the maximum precision. These values differ for double and 
  float, obviously.
