This patch is prerequisite for the 2nd milestone of WL#148 "Foreign keys"
storing and restoring information about foreign keys in the .FRM files and properly displaying it in SHOW CREATE TABLE output and I_S tables. The idea of this patch is to change type of Key_part_spec::field_name and Key::name to LEX_STRING in order to avoid extra strlen() calls during semantic analysis and statement execution, particularly, in code to be implemented on the 2nd milestone of WL#148. Note that since we are not using LEX_STRING everywhere yet (e.g. in Create_field and KEY) and we want to limit scope of our changes we have to do strlen() in places where we create Key and Key_part_spec instances from objects using plain (char*) for strings. These calls will go away during the process of further (char*) -> LEX_STRING refactoring. We have introduced these changes in 6.0 and backported them to 5.5 tree to make people aware of these changes as early as possible and to simplify merges with mysql-fk and mysql-6.1-fk trees. No test case is needed since this patch does not introduce any user visible changes. sql/sql_class.cc: Key_part_spec::field_name is now LEX_STRING. Adjusted code accordingly. sql/sql_class.h: Changed type of Key_part_spec::field_name and Key::name to LEX_STRING in order to avoid extra strlen() calls in code responsible for semantic analysis and statement execution (e.g. in future code responsible for saving/restoring info about foreign keys). sql/sql_lex.cc: Moved null_lex_str from sql_yacc.yy to sql_lex.cc and added its declaration to sql_lex.h to make it accessible in other SQL-layer modules (e.g. sql_parse.cc). sql/sql_lex.h: Made null_lex_str accessible from outside of sql_lex.cc. sql/sql_parse.cc: Key_part_spec::field_name and Key::name are now LEX_STRING. Adjusted code accordingly. sql/sql_table.cc: Adjusted code to accomodate change of type to LEX_STRING for Key_part_spec::field_name and Key::name. sql/sql_yacc.yy: Now Key::name and Key_part_spec::field_name are LEX_STRINGs. Adjusted grammar to be able properly initialize them. This should allow us to save on some strlen() calls during later stages of statement execution.
