In a union without braces, the order by at the end is applied to the 
overall union. It therefore should not interfere with the individual
select parts of the union.

Fixed by changing our parser rules appropriately.

The problem was that when convert_constant_item is called for subqueries,
this happens when we already started executing the top-level query, and
the field argument of convert_constant_item pointed to a valid table row.
In turn convert_constant_item used the field buffer to compute the value
of its item argument. This copied the item's value into the field,
and made equalities with outer references always true.
  
The fix saves/restores the original field's value when it belongs to an
outer table.

Both arguments of the function NAME_CONST must be constant expressions.
This constraint is checked in the Item_name_const::fix_fields method. 
Yet if the argument of the function was not a constant expression no
error message was reported. As a result the client hanged waiting for a
response.
Now the function Item_name_const::fix_fields reports an error message
when any of the additional context conditions imposed on the function
NAME_CONST is not satisfied. 

The index (key_part_1, key_part-2) was erroneously considered as compatible
with the required ordering in the function test_test_if_order_by_key when 
a query with an ORDER BY clause contained a condition of the form
  key_part_1=const OR key_part_1 IS NULL 
and the order list contained only key_part_2. This happened because the value
of the const_key_parts field in the KEYUSE structure was not formed correctly
for the keys that could be used for ref_or_null access. 
This was fixed in the code of the update_ref_and_keys function.
The problem could not manifest itself for MyISAM databases because the
implementation of the keys_to_use_for_scanning() handler function always
returns an empty bitmap for the MyISAM engine.

Anti-patch. This patch undoes the previously pushed patch. It is 
null-merged in versions 5.1 and above since there the original 
patch is still desired.
