MDEV-15107 Add virtual Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item(), make sp_rcontext symmetric for scalar and ROW

After MDEV-14212, the Virtual_tmp_table instance that stores a ROW
variable elements is accessible from the underlying Field_row
(rather than Item_field_row).

This patch makes some further changes by moving the code from
sp_instr_xxx, sp_rcontext, Item_xxx to Virtual_tmp_table and Field_xxx.

The data type specific code (scalar vs ROW) now resides in
a new virtual method Field_xxx::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
The the code in sp_rcontext::set_variable() and sp_eval_expr()
is now symmetric for scalar and ROW values.
The code in sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field(), sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field(), sp_rcontext::set_variable_row()
is now symmetric for ROW elements (i.e. scalar and ROW elements inside a ROW).

Rationale:

Prepare the code to implement these tasks soon easier:

- MDEV-12252 ROW data type for stored function return values
- MDEV-12307 ROW data type for built-in function return values
- MDEV-6121 Data type: Array
- MDEV-10593 sql_mode=ORACLE: TYPE .. AS OBJECT: basic functionality
- ROW with ROW fields (no MDEV yet)

Details:

1. Moving the code in sp_eval_expr() responsible to backup/restore
   thd->count_cuted_fields, thd->abort_on_warning,
   thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table
   into a new helper class Sp_eval_expr_state, to reuse it easier.
   Fixing sp_eval_expr() to use this new class.

2. Moving sp_eval_expr() and sp_prepare_func_item() from public functions
   to methods in THD, so they can be reused in *.cc files easier without
   a need to include "sp_head.h".

   Splitting sp_prepare_func_item() into two parts.
   Adding a new function sp_fix_func_item(), which fixes
   the underlying items, but does not do check_cols() for them.
   Reusing sp_fix_func_item() in Field_row::sp_prepare_and_store_item().

3. Moving the code to find ROW fields by name from Item to Virtual_tmp_table

   Moving the code searching for ROW fields by their names
   from Item_field_row::element_index_by_name() to a new method
   Item_field_row to Virtual_tmp_table::sp_find_field_by_name().

   Adding wrapper methods sp_rcontext::find_row_field_by_name() and
   find_row_field_by_name_or_error(), to search for a ROW variable
   fields by the variable offset and its field name.

   Changing Item_splocal_row_field_by_name::fix_fields() to do
   use sp_rcontext::find_row_field_by_name_or_error().
   Removing virtual Item::element_index_by_name().

4. Splitting sp_rcontext::set_variable()

   Adding a new virtual method Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
   Spliting the two branches of the code in sp_rcontext::set_variable()
   into two virtual implementations of Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item(),
   (for Field and for Field_row).

   Moving the former part of sp_rcontext::set_variable() with the loop
   doing set_null() for all ROW fields into a new method
   Virtual_tmp_table::set_all_fields_to_null() and using it in
   Field_row::sp_prepare_and_store_item().

   Moving the former part of sp_rcontext::set_variable() with the loop
   doing set_variable_row_field() into a new method
   Virtual_tmp_table::set_all_fields_from_item() and using it in
   Field_row::sp_prepare_and_store_item().
   The loop in the new method now uses sp_prepare_and_store_item()
   instead of set_variable_row_field(), because saving/restoring
   THD flags is now done on the upper level. No needs to save/restore
   on every iteration.

5. Fixing sp_eval_expr() to simply do two things:
   - backup/restore THD flags
   - call result_field->sp_prepare_and_store_item()
   So now sp_eval_expr() can be used for both scalar and ROW variables.
   Reusing it in sp_rcontext::set_variable*().

6. Moving the loop in sp_rcontext::set_variable_row() into a
   new method Virtual_tmp_table::sp_set_all_fields_from_item_list().

   Changing the loop body to call field->sp_prepare_and_store_item()
   instead of doing set_variable_row_field(). This removes
   saving/restoring of the THD flags from every interation.
   Instead, adding the code to save/restore the flags around
   the entire loop in set_variable_row(), using Sp_eval_expr_state.
   So now saving/restoring is done only once for the entire ROW
   (a slight performance improvement).

7. Removing the code in sp_instr_set::exec_core() that sets
   a variable to NULL if the value evaluation failed.
   sp_rcontext::set_variable() now makes sure to reset
   the variable properly by effectively calling sp_eval_expr(),
   which calls virtual Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item().

   Removing the similar code from sp_instr_set_row_field::exec_core()
   and sp_instr_set_row_field_by_name::exec_core().

   Removing the method sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field_to_null(),
   as it's not used any more.

8. Removing the call for sp_prepare_func_item() from
   sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field(), as it was duplicate:
   it was done inside sp_eval_expr(). Now it's done inside
   virtual Field::sp_prepare_and_store_item().

9. Moving the code from sp_instr_set_row_field_by_name::exec_core()
   into sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field_by_name(), for symmetry
   with other sp_instr_set*::exec_core()/sp_rcontext::set_variable*() pairs.
   Now sp_instr_set_row_field_by_name::exec_core() calls
   sp_rcontext::set_variable_row_field_by_name().

10. Misc:
   - Adding a helper private method sp_rcontext::virtual_tmp_table_for_row(),
     reusing it in a new sp_rcontext methods.
   - Removing Item_field_row::get_row_field(), as it's not used any more.
   - Removing the "Item *result_item" from sp_eval_expr(),
     as it's not needed any more.
