This patch fixes the issue with passing the DEFAULT or IGNORE values to
positional parameters for some kind of SQL statements to be executed
as prepared statements.
The main idea of the patch is to associate an actual value being passed
by the USING clause with the positional parameter represented by
the Item_param class. Such association must be performed on execution of
UPDATE statement in PS/SP mode. Other corner cases that results in
server crash is on handling CREATE TABLE when positional parameter
placed after the DEFAULT clause or CALL statement and passing either
the value DEFAULT or IGNORE as an actual value for the positional parameter.
This case is fixed by checking whether an error is set in diagnostics
area at the function pack_vcols() on return from the function pack_expression()
Subselect_single_value_engine cannot handle table value constructor used as
subquery. That's why any table value constructor TVC used as subquery is
converted into a select over derived table whose specification is TVC.
Currently the names of the columns of the derived table DT are taken from
the first element of TVC and if the k-th component of the element happens
to be a subquery the text representation of this subquery serves as the
name of the k-th column of the derived table. References of all columns of
the derived table DT compose the select list of the result of the conversion.
If a definition of a view contained a table value constructor used as a
subquery and the view was registered after this conversion had been
applied we could register an invalid view definition if the first element
of TVC contained a subquery as its component: the name of this component
was taken from the original subquery, while the name of the corresponding
column of the derived table was taken from the text representation of the
subquery produced by the function SELECT_LEX::print() and these names were
usually differ from each other.
To avoid registration of such invalid views the function SELECT_LEX::print()
now prints the original TVC instead of the select in which this TVC has
been wrapped. Now the specification of registered view looks like as if no
conversions from TVC to selects were done.

Tests with checking metadata or that cannot be run with
the view-protocol are excluded from --view-protocol.
For tests that do not allow the use of an additional connection,
the util connection is disabled with "--disable_service_connection".
Also cases with bugs for --view-protocol are disabled.
Repeating execution of a query containing the clause IN with string literals
in environment where the server variable in_predicate_conversion_threshold
is set results in server abnormal termination in case the query is run
as a Prepared Statement and conversion of charsets for string values in the
query are required.
The reason for server abnormal termination is that instances of the class
Item_string created on transforming the IN clause into subquery were created
on runtime memory root that is deallocated on finishing execution of Prepared
statement. On the other hand, references to Items placed on deallocated memory
root still exist in objects of the class table_value_constr. Subsequent running
of the same prepared statement leads to dereferencing of pointers to already
deallocated memory that could lead to undefined behaviour.
To fix the issue the values being pushed into a values list for TVC are created
by cloning their original items. This way the cloned items are allocate on
the PS memroot and as consequences no dangling pointer does more exist.
This patch fixes parsing problems concerning derived tables that use table
value constructors (TVC) with LIMIT and ORDER BY clauses of the form
((VALUES ... LIMIT ...) ORDER BY ...) as dt
The fix has to be applied only to 10.3 as 10.4 that employs a different
grammar rules has no such problems. The test cases should be merged
upstream.

The bug caused crashes of the server when processing queries with nested
table value constructors (TVC) . It happened because the grammar rules to
parse TVC used the same global lists for both nested TVC and nesting TVC.
As a result invalid select trees were constructed for queries with nested
TVC and this led to crashes at the prepare stage.
This patch provides its own lists structures for each TVC nest level.
Besides the patch fixes a bug in the function wrap_tvc() that missed
inheritance of the SELECT_LEX::exclude_from_table_unique_test for
selects that wrapped TVCs. This inheritance is critical for specifications
of derived tables that employ nested TVCs.

used in set function
If a subselect is formed by a table value constructor (TVC) then the
following transformation is applied at the prepare stage:
VALUES (v1), ... (vn) => SELECT * FROM (VALUES (v1), ... (vn)) tvc_x.
The transformation is performed by the function wrap_tvc() that resets
THD::LEX::current select to the top level select of the result of the
transformation. After the call of wrap_tvc() in the function
Item_subselect::wrap_tvc_into_select() the field THD::LEX::current must be
reset to the same select as before the call. It was not done. As a result
if the subselect formed by a TVC was an argument of a set function then
an assertion was hit in the function Item_sum::check_sum_func().

This bug caused crashes of the server when processing queries with table
value constructors (TVC) that contained subqueries and were used itself as
subselects. For such TVCs the following transformation is applied at the
prepare stage:
VALUES (v1), ... (vn) => SELECT * FROM (VALUES (v1), ... (vn)) tvc_x.
This transformation allows to reduce the problem of evaluation of TVCs used
as subselects to the problem of evaluation of regular subselects.
The transformation is implemented in the wrap_tvc(). The code the function
to mimic the behaviour of the parser when processing the result of the
transformation. However this imitation was not free of some flaws. First
the function called the method exclude() that completely destroyed the
select tree structures below the transformed TVC. Second the function
used the procedure mysql_new_select to create st_select_lex nodes for
both wrapping select of the transformation and TVC. This also led to
constructing of invalid select tree structures.
The patch actually re-engineers the code of wrap_tvc().

on used subqueries
If a query was based on a table value constructor that contained subqueries
then EXPLAIN for such query did not contain any lines explaining the
execution plans of the subqueries.
This happened because
- no optimize() method was called for any subquery used by the table value
constructor when EXPLAIN command for the query was processed;
- EXPLAIN node created for the table value constructor itself did not
assume that some child nodes could be attached to it.

of two table value costructors
This bug affected queries with a [NOT] IN/ANY/ALL subquery whose top level
unit contained several table value constructors.
The problem appeared because the code of the function
Item_subselect::fix_fields() that was responsible for wrapping table
value constructors encountered at the top level unit of a [NOT] IN/ANY/ALL
subquery did not take into account that the chain of the select objects
comprising the unit were not immutable.

This patch actually fixes the bug MDEV-24675 and the bug MDEV-24618:
Assertion failure when TVC uses a row in the context expecting scalar value
The cause of these bugs is the same wrong call of the function that fixes
value expressions in the value list of a table value constructor.
The assertion failure happened when an expression in the value list is of
the row type. In this case an error message was expected, but it was not
issued because the function fix_fields_if_needed() was called for to
check fields of value expressions in a TVC instead of the function
fix_fields_if_needed_for_scalar() that would also check that the value
expressions are are of a scalar type.
The first bug happened when a table value expression used an expression
returned by single-row subselect. In this case the call of the
fix_fields_if_needed_for_scalar virtual function must be provided with
and address to which the single-row subselect has to be attached.
Test cases were added for each of the bugs.

1. Code simplification:
Item_default_value handled all these values:
a. DEFAULT(field)
b. DEFAULT
c. IGNORE
and had various conditions to distinguish (a) from (b) and from (c).
Introducing a new abstract class Item_contextually_typed_value_specification,
to handle (b) and (c), so the hierarchy now looks as follows:
Item
Item_result_field
Item_ident
Item_field
Item_default_value - DEFAULT(field)
Item_contextually_typed_value_specification
Item_default_specification - DEFAULT
Item_ignore_specification - IGNORE
2. Introducing a new virtual method is_evaluable_expression() to
determine if an Item is:
- a normal expression, so its val_xxx()/get_date() methods can be called
- or a just an expression substitute, whose value methods cannot be called.
3. Disallowing Items that are not evalualble expressions in table value
constructors.
A CTE can be defined as a table values constructor. In this case the CTE is
always materialized in a temporary table.
If the definition of the CTE contains a list of the names of the CTE
columns then the query expression that uses this CTE can refer to the CTE
columns by these names. Otherwise the names of the columns are taken from
the names of the columns in the result set of the query that specifies the
CTE.
Thus if the column names of a CTE are provided in the definition the
columns of result set should be renamed. In a general case renaming of
the columns is done in the select lists of the query specifying the CTE.
If a CTE is specified by a table value constructor then there are no such
select lists and renaming is actually done for the columns of the result
of materialization.
Now if a view is specified by a query expression that uses a CTE specified
by a table value constructor saving the column names of the CTE in the
stored view definition becomes critical: without these names the query
expression is not able to refer to the columns of the CTE.
This patch saves the given column names of CTEs in stored view definitions
that use them.
query with VALUES()
A table value constructor can be used in all contexts where a select
can be used. In particular an ORDER BY clause or a LIMIT clause or both
of them can be attached to a table value constructor to produce a new
query. Unfortunately execution of such queries was not supported.
This patch fixes the problem.
a table value constructor shows wrong number of rows
This is another attempt to fix this bug. The previous patch did not take
into account that a transformation for ALL/ANY subqueries could be applied
to the materialized table that wrapped the table value constructor used as
a specification of the subselect used an ALL/ANY subquery. In this case
the result of the derived table used a sink of the class select_subselect
rather than of the class select_unit. Thus the previous fix could cause
memory overwrites when running EXPLAIN for queries with table value
constructors in ALL/ANY subselects.
This patch always provides columns of the temporary table used for
materialization of a table value constructor with some names.
Before this patch these names were always borrowed from the items
of the first row of the table value constructor. When this row
contained expressions and expressions were not named then it could cause
different kinds of problems. In particular if the TVC is used as the
specification of a derived table this could cause a crash.
The names given to the expressions used in a TVC are the same as those
given to the columns of the result set from the corresponding SELECT.
value constructor shows wrong number of rows
If the specification of a derived table contained a table value constructor
then the optimizer incorrectly estimated the number of rows in the derived
table. This happened because the optimizer did not take into account the
number of rows in the constructor. The wrong estimate could lead to choosing
inefficient execution plans.
