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.
- ALTER_ALGORITHM should be substituted when there is no mention of
algorithm in alter statement.
- Introduced algorithm(thd) in Alter_info. It returns the
user requested algorithm. If user doesn't specify algorithm explicitly then
it returns alter_algorithm variable.
- changed algorithm() to get_algorithm(thd) to return algorithm name for
displaying the error.
- set_requested_algorithm(algo_value) to avoid direct assignment on
requested_algorithm variable.
- Avoid direct access of requested_algorithm to encapsulate
requested_algorithm variable
(Variant #2 of the patch, which keeps the sp_head object inside the
MEM_ROOT that sp_head object owns)
(10.3 requires extra work due to sp_package, will commit a separate
patch for it)
sp_head::operator new() and operator delete() were dereferencing sp_head*
pointers to memory that didn't hold a valid sp_head object (it was
not created/already destroyed).
This caused UBSan to crash when looking up type information.
Fixed by providing static sp_head::create() and sp_head::destroy() methods.

Shift-Reduce conflicts prevented parsing some queries with subqueries that
used set operations when the subqueries occurred in expressions or in IN
predicands.
The grammar rules for query expression were transformed in order to avoid
these conflicts. New grammar rules employ an idea taken from MySQL 8.0.
The parser returned a syntax error message for the queries with join
expressions like this t1 JOIN t2 [LEFT | RIGHT] JOIN t3 ON ... ON ... when
the second operand of the outer JOIN operation with ON clause was another
join expression with ON clause. In this expression the JOIN operator is
right-associative, i.e. expression has to be parsed as the expression
t1 JOIN (t2 [LEFT | RIGHT] JOIN t3 ON ... ) ON ...
Such join expressions are hard to parse because the outer JOIN is
left-associative if there is no ON clause for the first outer JOIN operator.
The patch implements the solution when the JOIN operator is always parsed
as right-associative and builds first the right-associative tree. If it
happens that there is no corresponding ON clause for this operator the
tree is converted to left-associative.
The idea of the solution was taken from the patch by Martin Hansson
"WL#8083: Fixed the join_table rule" from MySQL-8.0 code line.
As the grammar rules related to join expressions in MySQL-8.0 and
MariaDB-5.5+ are quite different MariaDB solution could not borrow
any code from the MySQL-8.0 solution.

The COMPRESSED clause is now a part of the data type and goes immediately
after the data type and length, but before the CHARACTER SET clause,
and before column attributes such as DEFAULT, COLLATE, ON UPDATE,
SYSTEM VERSIONING, engine specific column attributes.
In the old reduction, the COMPRESSED clause was a column attribute.
New syntax:
<varchar or text data type> <length> <compression> <character set> <column attributes>
<varbinary or blob data type> <length> <compression> <column attributes>
New syntax examples:
VARCHAR(1000) COMPRESSED CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT ''
BLOB COMPRESSED DEFAULT ''
Deprecate syntax examples:
VARCHAR(1000) CHARACTER SET latin1 COMPRESSED DEFAULT ''
TEXT CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT '' COMPRESSED
VARBINARY(1000) DEFAULT '' COMPRESSED
As a side effect:
- COMPRESSED is not valid as an SP label name in SQL/PSM routines any more
(but it's still valid as an SP label name in sql_mode=ORACLE)
- COMPRESSED is now allowed in combination with GENERATED ALWAYS AS:
TEXT COMPRESSED GENERATED ALWAYS AS REPEAT('a',1000)
