MDEV-20856 Bad values in metadata views for partitions on VARBINARY

The old code to print partition values was too complicated:
- it created new Items for character set conversion purposes.
- it mixed string conversion and partition error reporting
  in the same code blocks.

Simplifying the code as follows:

- Adding helper methods String::can_be_safely_convert_to() and
  String::append_introducer_and_hex().

- Adding DBUG_EXECUTE_IF("generate_partition_syntax_for_frm",  push_warning...)
  into generate_partition_syntax_for_frm(), to test the PARTITON
  clause written to FRM. Adding test partition_utf8-debug.test for this.

- Removing functions get_cs_converted_part_value_from_string() and
  get_cs_converted_string_value. Changing get_partition_column_description()
  to use Type_handler::partition_field_append_value() instead.
  This makes SHOW CREATE TABLE and SELECT FROM I_S.PARTITIONS
  use the same code path.

- Changing Type_handler::partition_field_append_value() not to
  call convert_charset_partition_constant(), to avoid creating a new Item
  for string conversion pursposes.
  Rewritting the code to use only String methods.

- Removing error reporting code (ER_PARTITION_FUNCTION_IS_NOT_ALLOWED)
  from Type_handler::partition_field_append_value().
  The error is correctly detected and reported on the caller level.
  So error reporting was redundant here.

Also:

- Moving methods Type_handler::partition_field_*() from sql_partition.cc
  to sql_type.cc. This fixes compilation problem with -DPLUGIN_PARTITION=NO,
  earlier introduced by the patch for MDEV-20831.
