    Fix for Bug#56934 (mysql_stmt_fetch() incorrectly fills MYSQL_TIME · 6bf734f8

    This is a follow-up for WL#4435. The bug actually existed not only
    MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME type. The problem was that Item_param::set_value()
    was written in an assumption that it's working with expressions, i.e.
    with basic data types.
    
    There are two different quick fixes here:
      a) Change Item_param::make_field() -- remove setting of
         Send_field::length, Send_field::charsetnr, Send_field::flags and
         Send_field::type.
    
         That would lead to marshalling all data using basic types to the client
         (MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG, MYSQL_TYPE_DOUBLE, MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and
         MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDECIMAL). In particular, that means, DATETIME would be
         sent as MYSQL_TYPE_STRING, TINYINT -- as MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG, etc.
    
         That could be Ok for the client, because the client library does
         reverse conversion automatically (the client program would see DATETIME
         as MYSQL_TIME object). However, there is a problem with metadata --
         the metadata would be wrong (misleading): it would say that DATETIME is
         marshaled as MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME, not as MYSQL_TYPE_STRING.
    
      b) Set Item_param::param_type properly to actual underlying field type.
         That would lead to double conversion inside the server: for example,
         MYSQL_TIME-object would be converted into STRING-object
         (in Item_param::set_value()), and then converted back to MYSQL_TIME-object
         (in Item_param::send()).
    
         The data however would be marshalled more properly, and also metadata would
         be correct.
    
    This patch implements b).
    
    There is also a possibility to avoid double conversion either by clonning
    the data field, or by storing a reference to it and using it on Item::send()
    time. That requires more work and might be done later.
