Fix LP BUG#777597
Analysis: During optimization of the subquery, in the call chain: update_ref_and_keys -> add_key_fields -> merge_key_fields -> Item_direct_ref::is_null -> Item_cache::is_null The call to Item_cache::is_null() returns TRUE, which is wrong. This results in Item_null replacing the field 'f3' in the KEY_FIELD, then this Item_null is used for index access, producing a wrong result. The reason why Item_cache::is_null returns wrong result is that this Item_cache object is a cache of the left operand of IN, and was updated in Item_in_optimizer::val_int. In MWL#89 the latter method is called during the execution phase, which is after we optimize the subquery. Therefore during the optization phase the left operand cache of IN was not updated. Solution: Update the left operand cache during optimization if it is a constant. This bug fix also discoveres and fixes a wrong IF statement in convert_constant_item().
