MDEV-7817 ALTER TABLE {ADD|DROP} INDEX IF [NOT] EXISTS does not get written into binlog if nothing to do.
Just log the ALTER statement even if there's nothing to do.

in case of STRING_RESULT to switch(cmp_type()).

The assumption is that the engine should not need to
evaluate HAVING on the table->record[0] - the engine either
can evaluate HAVING internally before writing it to the
table->record[0], or it should leave it to the server,
that will evaluate HAVING(table->record[0]).

Similarly the engine should not need to evaluate ORDER
on the table->record[0]. Either it returns the data already
sorted, or the server will sort the table.

instead pass the whole query down and let the engine return
unsupported parts back

down to the point where all tables are already known
(and subqueries converted to joins, if needed)

into a Pushdown_query object

This task is to allow storage engines that can execute GROUP BY or
summary queries efficiently to intercept a full query or sub query from
MariaDB and deliver the result either to the client or to a temporary
table for further processing.

- Added code in sql_select.cc to intercept GROUP BY queries.
  Creation of group_by_handler is done after all optimizations to allow
  storage engine to benefit of an optimized WHERE clause and suggested
  indexes to use.
- Added group by handler to sequence engine and a group_by test suite as
  a way to test the new interface.
- Intercept EXPLAIN with a message "Storage engine handles GROUP BY"

libmysqld/CMakeLists.txt:
  Added new group_by_handler files
sql/CMakeLists.txt:
  Added new group_by_handler files
sql/group_by_handler.cc:
  Implementation of group_by_handler functions
sql/group_by_handler.h:
  Definition of group_by_handler class
sql/handler.h:
  Added handlerton function to create a group_by_handler, if the storage
  engine can intercept the query.
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
  Allow one to evaluate item_equal any time.
sql/sql_select.cc:
  Added code to intercept GROUP BY queries
  - If all tables are from the same storage engine and the query is
    using sum functions, call create_group_by() to check if the storage
    engine can intercept the query.
    - If yes:
       - create a temporary table to hold a GROUP_BY row or result
       - In do_select() intercept normal query execution by instead
         calling the group_by_handler to get the result
       - Intercept EXPLAIN
sql/sql_select.h:
  Added handling of group_by_handler
  Added caching of the original join tab (needed for cleanup after
  group_by handler)
storage/sequence/mysql-test/sequence/group_by.result:
  Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/mysql-test/sequence/group_by.test:
  Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/sequence.cc:
  Added simple group_by_engine for handling COUNT(*) and
  SUM(primary_key).  This was done as a test of the group_by_handler
  interface

Fixed compiler warnings

sql/sql_view.cc:
Ensure that merged_for_insert is properly reset
(Left of an old patch)

if we didn't write the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statement.

- Enable old code from one of my older changesets that didn't make into 10.0
- Fix test cased that failed as they expected DROP TEMPORARY TABLE in the log.

Remove debug printout that was accidentally left in place

- Turning get_mm_tree_for_const() from a static function into
  a protected method in Item.
- Adding a new class Item_bool_func2_with_rev, for the functions and operators
  that have a reverse function and can use the range optimizer for
  to optimize "value OP field" as "field REV_OP value". Deriving
  Item_bool_rowready_func2 and Item_funt_spatial_rel from the new class.
- Removing Item_bool_func2::have_rev_func().

- Item_bool_func::get_func_mm_tree()
- Item_bool_func::get_mm_parts()
- Item_bool_func::get_ne_mm_tree()

from Item_bool_func::get_mm_leaf() into Field_xxx::can_optimize_range().
This reduces the total amount of virtual calls. Also, it's a prerequisite
change for the pluggable data types.

MDEV-8523: InnoDB: Assertion failure in file buf0buf.cc line 5963 (Failing assertion: key_version == 0 || key_version >= bpage->key_version)

Item_ref::val_bool_result().

Check if the engine is supported/allowed before replicating the
statement.

Fixed race condition in code filling INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST.INFO_BINARY.
When loading query string/length of another connection one must have
LOCK_thd_data locked.

The patch for MDEV-8871 also fixed the problem reported in MDEV-657.
Adding the test case from the bug report.

MDEV-8873 Wrong field type or metadata for LEAST(int_column,string_column)

Analysis: When a page is read from encrypted table and page can't be
decrypted because of bad key (or incorrect encryption algorithm or
method) page was incorrectly left on buffer pool.

Fix: Remove page from buffer pool and from pending IO.

MDEV-8875 Wrong metadata for MAX(CAST(time_column AS DATETIME))

Item_func_hybrid_field_type did not return correct field_type(), cmp_type()
and result_type() in some cases, because cached_result_type and
cached_field_type were set in independent pieces of the code and
did not properly match to each other.
Fix:
- Removing Item_func_hybrid_result_type
- Deriving Item_func_hybrid_field_type directly from Item_func
- Introducing a new class Type_handler which guarantees that
  field_type(), cmp_type() and result_type() are always properly synchronized
  and using the new class in Item_func_hybrid_field_type.

Added error handling to crash recovery so that we stop instead of
asserting.
