MDEV-26047: MariaDB server crash at Item_subselect::init_expr_cache_tracker
The cause of crash: remove_redundant_subquery_clauses() removes redundant item expressions. The primary goal of this is to remove the subquery items. The removal process unlinks the subquery from SELECT_LEX tree, but does not remove it from SELECT_LEX:::ref_pointer_array or from JOIN::all_fields. Then, setup_subquery_caches() tries to wrap the subquery item in an expression cache, which fails, the first reason for failure being that the item doesn't have a query plan. Solution: do not wrap eliminated items with expression cache. (also added an assert to check that we do not attempt to execute them). This may look like an incomplete fix: why don't we remove any mention of eliminated item everywhere? The difficulties here are: * items can be "un-removed" (see set_fake_select_as_master_processor) * it's difficult to remove an element from ref_pointer_array: Item_ref objects refer to elements of that array, so one can't shift elements in it. Replacing eliminated subselect with a dummy Item doesn't look like a good idea, either.
