This bug could affect multi-update statements as well as single-table
update statements processed as multi-updates when the where condition
contained a range condition over a non-indexed varchar column. The
optimizer calculates selectivity of such range conditions using histograms.
For each range the buckets containing endpoints of the the range are
determined with a procedure that stores the values of the endpoints in the
space of the record buffer where values of the columns are usually stored.
For a range over a varchar column the value of a endpoint may exceed the
size of the buffer and in such case the value is stored with truncation.
This truncations cannot affect the result of the calculation of the range
selectivity as the calculation employes only the beginning of the value
string. However it can trigger generation of an unexpected error on this
truncation if an update statement is processed.
This patch prohibits truncation messages when selectivity of a range
condition is calculated for a non-indexed column.

The MDEV-17262 commit 26432e49d3
was skipped. In Galera 4, the implementation would seem to require
changes to the streaming replication.
In the tests archive.rnd_pos main.profiling, disable_ps_protocol
for SHOW STATUS and SHOW PROFILE commands until MDEV-18974
has been fixed.
