A fix and a test case for Bug#29306 "Truncated data in MS Access with decimal (3,1) columns in a

VIEW".

mysql_list_fields() C API function would incorrectly set MYSQL_FIELD::decimals
member for some view columns.

The problem was in an incomplete implementation of 
Item_ident_for_show::make_field(), which is responsible for view
columns metadata.
