The Field::eq() considered instances of Field_bit that differ only in 
bit_ptr/bit_ofs equal. This caused equality conditions optimization 
(build_equal_items_for_cond()) to make bad field substitutions that result
in wrong predicates. 
Field_bit requires an overloaded eq() function that checks the bit_ptr/bit_ofs
in addition to Field::eq().

The INSERT DELAYED should not maintain its own private auto-increment
counter, because this is assuming that other threads cannot insert
into the table while the INSERT DELAYED thread is inserting, which is
a wrong assumption.

So the start of processing of a batch of INSERT rows in the 
INSERT DELAYED thread must be treated as a start of a new statement
and cached next_insert_id must be cleared.

Problem:
There was a wrong context assigned to the columns that were added in insert_fields()
when expanding a '*'. When this is done in a prepared statement it causes 
fix_fields() to fail to find the table that these columns reference.
Actually the right context is set in setup_natural_join_row_types() called at the 
end of setup_tables(). However when executed in a context of a prepared statement
setup_tables() resets the context, but setup_natural_join_row_types() was not
setting it to the correct value assuming it has already done so.

Solution:
The top-most, left-most NATURAL/USING join must be set as a 
first_name_resolution_table in context even when operating on prepared statements.

The bug report revealed two problems related to min/max optimization:
1. If the length of a constant key used in a SARGable condition for
for the MIN/MAX fields is greater than the length of the field an 
unwanted warning on key truncation is issued;
2. If MIN/MAX optimization is applied to a partial index, like INDEX(b(4))
than can lead to returning a wrong result set.

        3.23 regression test failure

The member SEL_ARG::min_flag was not initialized, 
due to which the condition for no GEOM_FLAG in function 
key_or did not choose "Range checked for each record" as 
the correct access method.

The IN() function uses agg_cmp_type() to aggregate all types of its arguments
to find out some common type for comparisons. In this particular case the 
char() and the int was aggregated to double because char() can contain values
like '1.5'. But all strings which do not start from a digit are converted to
0. thus 'a' and 'z' become equal. 
This behaviour is reasonable when all function arguments are constants. But 
when there is a field or an expression this can lead to false comparisons. In
this case it makes more sense to coerce constants to the type of the field
argument.

The agg_cmp_type() function now aggregates types of constant and non-constant
items separately. If some non-constant items will be found then their
aggregated type will be returned. Thus after the aggregation constants will be
coerced to the aggregated type.

In multi-table delete a table for delete can't be used for selecting in
subselects. Appropriate error was raised but wasn't checked which leads to a
crash at the execution phase.

The mysql_execute_command() now checks for errors before executing select
for multi-delete.

When reading a view definition from a .frm file it was
throwing a SQL error if the DEFINER user is not defined.
Changed it to a warning to match the (documented) case
when a view with undefined DEFINER user is created.
