The "insert_update" causes a server crash when using prepared statements

Must clear table->insert_values after completing every prepared statement

(here in client_test.c because we need to check if several PS execution works and the bug shows up with binary protocol only )

 * Backport of safety measures from 5.0: make numeorous replaces:
    s/item->fix_fields()/if (!item->fixed) item->fix_fields()

into mysql.com:/home/jwinstead2/mysql-4.1

 * Added Item_ref::set_properties 
 * Item_ref::Item_ref now expects to get in *item either
     NULL - then fix_fields() will be called later  or 
     ptr to Item it will refer to - then an equivalent of fix_fields() call is performed

into mysql.com:/home/mysql_src/mysql-4.1-clean

  without the PS protocol

  s/spaces/TAB/

  Add running of test suite with --ps-protocol to 'test' target

The problem in 4.1 was the same as in 4.0 - fix_fields() not called for created Item_ref. 
The fix is similar too - initialize Item_refs in ctor (but don't interfere with cases when 
Item_ref is used by subselects).
