MDEV-4742 - remove leading zero handling, and cleanups.
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.
