Davi Arnaut 0f9ddfa9d8 Bug#42733: Type-punning warnings when compiling MySQL --
strict aliasing violations.

One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
uses the next field of the object being added to the list.

The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.

sql/handler.h:
  Use the appropriate template type argument.
sql/item.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary cast.
sql/item_subselect.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/item_sum.cc:
  Use the appropriate template type argument.
  Remove now-unnecessary cast.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Move SQL_LIST structure to sql_list.h
  Use the appropriate template type argument.
sql/sp.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_delete.cc:
  Use the appropriate template type argument.
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_derived.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_lex.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_lex.h:
  SQL_LIST now takes a template type argument which must
  match the type of the elements of the list. Use forward
  declaration when the type is not available, it is used
  in pointers anyway.
sql/sql_list.h:
  Rename SQL_LIST to SQL_I_List. The template parameter is
  the type of object that is stored in the list.
sql/sql_olap.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_select.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_table.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_trigger.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_union.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_update.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_view.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
storage/myisammrg/ha_myisammrg.cc:
  Remove now-unnecessary casts.
