type of the result.

There are several functions that accept parameters of different types.
The result field type of such functions was determined based on
the aggregated result type of its arguments. As the DATE and the DATETIME
types are represented by the STRING type, the result field type
of the affected functions was always STRING for DATE/DATETIME arguments.
The affected functions are COALESCE, IF, IFNULL, CASE, LEAST/GREATEST, CASE.

Now the affected functions aggregate the field types of their arguments rather
than their result types and return the result of aggregation as their result
field type.
The cached_field_type member variable is added to the number of classes to
hold the aggregated result field type.
The str_to_date() function's result field type now defaults to the
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME.
The agg_field_type() function is added. It aggregates field types with help
of the Field::field_type_merge() function.
The create_table_from_items() function now uses the 
item->tmp_table_field_from_field_type() function to get the proper field
when the item is a function with a STRING result type.

The optimizer sets index traversal in reverse order only if there are 
 used key parts that are not compared to a constant.
However using the primary key as an ORDER BY suffix rendered the check
incomplete : going in reverse order must still be used even if 
all the parts of the secondary key are compared to a constant.

Fixed by relaxing the check and set reverse traversal even when all
the secondary index keyparts are compared to a const.
Also account for the case when all the primary keys are compared to a
constant.

- The bug was caused by COUNT(DISTINCT ...) code using Unique object in 
  a way that assumed that BIT(N) column occupies a contiguous space in
  temp_table->record[0] buffer. 
- The fix is to make COUNT(DISTINCT ...) code instruct create_tmp_table to
  create temporary table with column of type BIGINT, not BIT(N).

Declaring an all space column name in the SELECT FROM DUAL or in a view
leads to misleading warning message:
"Leading spaces are removed from name ' '".

The Item::set_name method has been modified to raise warnings like
"Name ' ' has become ''" in case of the truncation of an all
space identifier to an empty string identifier instead of the
"Leading spaces are removed from name ' '" warning message.

DELETE FROM ... USING ... statements with the following type of 
ambiguous aliasing gave unexpected results:
DELETE FROM t1 AS alias USING t1, t2 AS alias WHERE t1.a = alias.a;
This query would leave table t1 intact but delete rows from t2.
Fixed by changing DELETE FROM ... USING syntax so that only alias 
references (as opposed to alias declarations) may be used in FROM.

Invaldating a subset of a sufficiently large query cache can take a long time.
During this time the server is efficiently frozen and no other operation can
be executed. This patch addresses this problem by setting a time limit on
how long time a dictionary access request can take before giving up on the 
attempt. This patch does not work for query cache invalidations issued by
DROP, ALTER or RENAME TABLE operations.


sql/sql_cache.cc:
  Changed mutex locking to a timed spinn lock. If access to query cache dictionary
  takes "a long time" (currently more than 0.1 seconds) the system fall backs on
  ordinary statement execution.
