MDEV-12506 Split Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() into methods in Type_handler + MDEV-12497 + MDEV-12504 This patch does the following: 1. Adds a new method Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_min_max() - For non-traditional data types it uses type_handler_data->m_type_aggregator_for_result.find_handler() This allows pluggable data types to define in the future their own behavior of the result data type detection for LEAST/GREATEST. Also, this disallows expressions of the GEOMETRY data type (and its variants such as POINT) to be mixed in with numeric and temporal data types in LEAST/GREATEST. - For traditional data types it reproduces the old behavior of the result data type detection (but not attributes, see below). 2. Adds a new virtual method Type_handler::Item_func_min_max_fix_attributes() and reuses as much as possible the code that calculates data type attributes for CASE-alike functions (e.g. CASE..THEN, COALESCE, IF). As the old code responsible for attributes calculation in the old implementation of Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() was not fully correct, this automatically fixes the following bugs: - MDEV-12497 Wrong data type for LEAST(latin1_expr, utf8_expr) The old fix_length_and_dec() calculated max_length before character set aggregation. Now max_length is calculated after, in Item_func::count_string_length() called from Item_func::aggregate_attributes_string() called from Type_handler_string_result::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() called from Type_handler::Item_func_min_max_fix_attributes() called from Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec(). - MDEV-12504 Wrong data type for LEAST(date_expr,time_expr) The old fix_length_and_dec() simply used the maximum of max_length among all arguments to set its own max_length and did not take into account that a mixture of DATE and TIME becomes DATETIME. Now this is correctly handled by: Type_handler_datetime_common::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() called from Type_handler::Item_func_min_max_fix_attributes() called from Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec(). 3. Removes the old implementation of Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() and replaces it to calls of the new methods. 4. Cleanup: moves the code related to unsigned_flag processing from Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_result() to Type_handler_int_result::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes(). This is done: - to avoid code duplication in Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_min_max() - to get rid of one more call for field_type(), which is unfriendly to the conceipt of pluggable data types.
