Bug#28494: Grouping by Item_func_set_user_var produces incorrect result.
This is an additional fix. Item::val_xxx methods are supposed to use original data source and Item::val_xxx_result methods to use the item's result field. But for the Item_func_set_user_var class val_xxx_result methods were mapped to val_xxx methods. This leads, in particular, to producing bad sort keys and thus wrong order of the result set of queries with group by/order by clauses. The set of val_xxx_result methods is added to the Item_func_set_user_var class. It's the same as the val_xxx set of method but uses the result_field to return a value.
