  Store the pointer to this item field into a list if not already there.

  SYNOPSIS

    arg  pointer to a List<Item_field>

  DESCRIPTION
    The method is used by Item::walk to collect all unique Item_field objects
    from a tree of Items into a set of items represented as a list.

  IMPLEMENTATION
    Item_cond::walk() and Item_func::walk() stop the evaluation of the
    processor function for its arguments once the processor returns
    true.Therefore in order to force this method being called for all item
    arguments in a condition the method must return false.

  RETURN
    false to force the evaluation of collect_item_field_processor
          for the subsequent items.

/*
   Aggregate two collations together taking

   0 == DERIVATION_EXPLICIT  - an explicitly written COLLATE clause
   1 == DERIVATION_NONE      - a mix of two different collations
   2 == DERIVATION_IMPLICIT  - a column
   3 == DERIVATION_COERCIBLE - a string constant

   The most important rules are:

   1. If collations are the same:
      chose this collation, and the strongest derivation.

   2. If collations are different:
     - Character sets may differ, but only if conversion without
       data loss is possible. The caller provides flags whether
       character set conversion attempts should be done. If no
       flags are substituted, then the character sets must be the same.
       Currently processed flags are:
         MY_COLL_ALLOW_SUPERSET_CONV  - allow conversion to a superset
         MY_COLL_ALLOW_COERCIBLE_CONV - allow conversion of a coercible value
     - two EXPLICIT collations produce an error, e.g. this is wrong:
       CONCAT(expr1 collate latin1_swedish_ci, expr2 collate latin1_german_ci)
     - the side with smaller derivation value wins,
       i.e. a column is stronger than a string constant,
       an explicit COLLATE clause is stronger than a column.
     - if derivations are the same, we have DERIVATION_NONE,
       we'll wait for an explicit COLLATE clause which possibly can
       come from another argument later: for example, this is valid,
       but we don't know yet when collecting the first two arguments:
         CONCAT(latin1_swedish_ci_column,

/*
  Resolve a column reference in a sub-select.

  SYNOPSIS
    resolve_ref_in_select_and_group()
    thd     current thread
    ref     column reference being resolved
    select  the sub-select that ref is resolved against

  DESCRIPTION
    Resolve a column reference (usually inside a HAVING clause) against the
    SELECT and GROUP BY clauses of the query described by 'select'. The name
    resolution algorithm searches both the SELECT and GROUP BY clauses, and in
    case of a name conflict prefers GROUP BY column names over SELECT names. If
    both clauses contain different fields with the same names, a warning is
    issued that name of 'ref' is ambiguous. We extend ANSI SQL in that when no
    GROUP BY column is found, then a HAVING name is resolved as a possibly
    derived SELECT column.

  NOTES
    The resolution procedure is:
    - Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
      in the SELECT clause of Q.
    - Search for a column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
      in the GROUP BY clause of Q.
    - If found different columns with the same name in GROUP BY and SELECT
      - issue a warning and return the GROUP BY column,
      - otherwise return the found SELECT column.

  Resolve the name of a column reference.

  SYNOPSIS
    Item_field::fix_fields()
    thd       [in]      current thread
    tables    [in]      the tables in a FROM clause
    reference [in/out]  view column if this item was resolved to a view column

  DESCRIPTION
    The method resolves the column reference represented by 'this' as a column
    present in one of: FROM clause, SELECT clause, GROUP BY clause of a query
    Q, or in outer queries that contain Q.

  NOTES
    The name resolution algorithm used is (where [T_j] is an optional table
    name that qualifies the column name):

      resolve_column_reference([T_j].col_ref_i)
      {
        search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
        [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q;

        if such a column is NOT found AND    // Lookup in outer queries.
           there are outer queries
        {
          for each outer query Q_k beginning from the inner-most one
          {
            if - Q_k is not a group query AND
               - Q_k is not inside an aggregate function
               OR
               - Q_(k-1) is not in a HAVING or SELECT clause of Q_k
            {
              search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
              [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q_k;
            }

            if such a column is not found
              Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
              [in table T_j] in the SELECT and GROUP clauses of Q_k.
          }
        }
      }

    Notice that compared to Item_ref::fix_fields, here we first search the FROM
    clause, and then we search the SELECT and GROUP BY clauses.

  RETURN
    TRUE  if error
    FALSE on success

  Resolve the name of a reference to a column reference.

  SYNOPSIS
    Item_ref::fix_fields()
    thd       [in]      current thread
    tables    [in]      the tables in a FROM clause
    reference [in/out]  view column if this item was resolved to a view column

  DESCRIPTION
    The method resolves the column reference represented by 'this' as a column
    present in one of: GROUP BY clause, SELECT clause, outer queries. It is
    used typically for columns in the HAVING clause which are not under
    aggregate functions.

  NOTES
    The name resolution algorithm used is (where [T_j] is an optional table
    name that qualifies the column name):

      resolve_extended([T_j].col_ref_i)
      {
        Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
        in the SELECT and GROUP clauses of Q.

        if such a column is NOT found AND    // Lookup in outer queries.
           there are outer queries
        {
          for each outer query Q_k beginning from the inner-most one
         {
            Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
            [in table T_j] in the SELECT and GROUP clauses of Q_k.

            if such a column is not found AND
               - Q_k is not a group query AND
               - Q_k is not inside an aggregate function
               OR
               - Q_(k-1) is not in a HAVING or SELECT clause of Q_k
            {
              search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
              [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q_k;
            }
          }
        }
      }

    This procedure treats GROUP BY and SELECT clauses as one namespace for
    column references in HAVING. Notice that compared to
    Item_field::fix_fields, here we first search the SELECT and GROUP BY
    clauses, and then we search the FROM clause.
