Fixed bug #29251.

Sometimes special 0 ENUM values was ALTERed to normal
empty string ENUM values.

Special 0 ENUM value has the same string representation
as normal ENUM value defined as '' (empty string).
The do_field_string function was used to convert
ENUM data at an ALTER TABLE request, but this
function doesn't care about numerical "indices" of
ENUM values, i.e. do_field_string doesn't distinguish
a special 0 value from an empty string value.

A new copy function called do_field_enum has been added to
copy special 0 ENUM values without conversion to an empty
string.
