    MDEV-4742 - remove leading zero handling, and cleanups. · 6c5c1fd5

    Leading zeros added a single byte overhead per numeric string,
    even when they were. Sorting leading zeros offers only for little value
    (except determinism in sort). I decided to drop it for now, we can be
    like ICU, which drops leading zeros, in numeric sorting,
    even with IDENTICAL collation strength.
    
    
    Also, disabled virtual stored columns (thus also indexes), on Serg's request
    Hopefully it is temporarily, and will be reenabled soon, when everyone is
    as happy with key generation algorithm as I am.
