Bug #29878 Garbage data generation when executing SESSION_USER() on a slave.

Item_func_user doesn't calculate anything in it's val_str() method,
just returns saved str_value.
Though Item::save_in_field method can destroy str_value, relying on
val_str() return. As a result we get the garbage stored in field.

We cannot use Item::save_in_field implementation for Item_func_user,
reimplement it in simpler way.

+  IMPLEMENTATION
+    Check if the Item is null and stores the NULL or the
+    result value in the field accordingly.
