Fix for bug#42014: Crash, name_const with collate

Problem: some queries using NAME_CONST(.. COLLATE ...)
lead to server crash due to failed type cast.

Fix: return the underlying item's type in case of
NAME_CONST(.. COLLATE ...) to avoid wrong casting.

  Fix for bug#42014: Crash, name_const with coll
    - in case of NAME_CONST('name', 'value' COLLATE collation)
  Item_name_const::type() returns type of 'value' argument 
  to avoid wrong type casting of the Item_name_const items.
