Showstopper and regression against 5.0.24.

Previously, we ignored seek() errors (see Bug#22828) and let seek()s
against pipes fail.  Now, since we check that a seek didn't fail,
and return without reading, this bug popped up.

This restores the behavior for file-ish objects that could never be 
seek()ed.

  operations)

Before this change, the boolean predicates:
- X IS TRUE,
- X IS NOT TRUE,
- X IS FALSE,
- X IS NOT FALSE
were implemented by expanding the Item tree in the parser, by using a
construct like:
Item_func_if(Item_func_ifnull(X, <value>), <value>, <value>)

Each <value> was a constant integer, either 0 or 1.

A bug in the implementation of the function IF(a, b, c), in
Item_func_if::fix_length_and_dec(), would cause the following :

When the arguments b and c are both unsigned, the result type of the
function was signed, instead of unsigned.

When the result of the if function is signed, space for the sign could be
counted twice (in the max() expression for a signed argument, and in the
total), causing the member max_length to be too high.

An effect of this is that the final type of IF(x, int(1), int(1)) would be
int(2) instead of int(1).

With this fix, the problems found in Item_func_if::fix_length_and_dec()
have been fixed.

While it's semantically correct to represent 'X IS TRUE' with
Item_func_if(Item_func_ifnull(X, <value>), <value>, <value>),
there are however more problems with this construct.

a)
Building the parse tree involves :
- creating 5 Item instances (3 ints, 1 ifnull, 1 if),
- creating each Item calls my_pthread_getspecific_ptr() once in the operator
  new(size), and a second time in the Item::Item() constructor, resulting
  in a total of 10 calls to get the current thread.
Evaluating the expression involves evaluating up to 4 nodes at runtime.
This representation could be greatly simplified and improved.

b)
Transforming the parse tree internally with if(ifnull(...)) is fine as long
as this transformation is internal to the server implementation.
With views however, the result of the parse tree is later exposed by the
::print() functions, and stored as part of the view definition.
Doing this has long term consequences:

1)
The original semantic 'X IS TRUE' is lost, and replaced by the
if(ifnull(...)) expression. As a result, SHOW CREATE VIEW does not restore
the original code.

2)
Should a future version of MySQL implement the SQL BOOLEAN data type for
example, views created today using 'X IS NULL' can be exported using
mysqldump, and imported again. Such views would be converted correctly and
automatically to use a BOOLEAN column in the future version.
With 'X IS TRUE' and the current implementations, views using these
"boolean" predicates would not be converted during the export/import, and
would use integer columns instead.
The difference traces back to how SHOW CREATE VIEW preserves 'X IS NULL' but
does not preserve the 'X IS TRUE' semantic.

With this fix, internal representation of 'X IS TRUE' booleans predicates
has changed, so that:
- dedicated Item classes are created for each predicate,
- only 1 Item is created to represent 1 predicate
- my_pthread_getspecific_ptr() is invoked 1 time instead of 10
- SHOW CREATE VIEW preserves the original semantic, and prints 'X IS TRUE'.

Note that, because of the fix in Item_func_if, views created before this fix
will:
- correctly use a int(1) type instead of int(2) for boolean predicates,
- incorrectly print the if(ifnull(...), ...) expression in SHOW CREATE VIEW,
since the original semantic (X IS TRUE) has been lost.
- except for the syntax used in SHOW CREATE VIEW, these views will operate
properly, no action is needed.

Views created after this fix will operate correctly, and will preserve the
original code semantic in SHOW CREATE VIEW.

ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good character in some locales.
This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from
being used. Now if 0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and
use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an error.

Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This solution should
serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with ',' in their enums), but
WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/
That is, mysqldump with their current server, and restore when upgrading to one with
this patch.

The crash happens because second filling of the same I_S table happens in
case of subselect with order by. table->sort.io_cache previously allocated
in create_sort_index() is deleted during second filling
(function get_schema_tables_result). There are two places where
I_S table can be filled: JOIN::exec and create_sort_index().
To fix the bug we should check if the table was already filled
in one of these places and skip processing of the table in second.

Some fields (GEOMETRY first of all) can't be handled properly in this
case at all. So we return an error in this case
