MDEV-11344 Split Arg_comparator::set_compare_func() into virtual methods in Type_handler
This patch: - Introduces a new virtuial method Type_handler::set_comparator_func and moves pieces of the code from the switch in Arg_comparator::set_compare_func into the corresponding Type_handler_xxx::set_comparator_func. - Adds Type_handler::get_handler_by_cmp_type() - Moves Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::get_handler_by_result_type() to a static method Type_handler::get_handler_by_result_type(), for symmetry with similar methods: * Type_handler::get_handler_by_field_type() * Type_handler::get_handler_by_real_type() * Type_handler::get_handler_by_cmp_type() - Introduces Type_handler_row, to unify the code for the scalar data types and the ROW data type (currently for comparison purposes only). - Adds public type_handler_row, as it's now needed in item_row.h - Makes type_handler_null public, as it's now needed in item_cmpfunc.h Note, other type_handler_xxx will become public as well later. - Removes the global variable Arg_comparator::comparator_matrix, as it's not needed any more.
