Patch for Bug 12652769 - 61470: CASE OPERATOR IN STORED ROUTINE RETAINS

OLD VALUE OF INPUT PARAMETER.

The user-visible problem was that CASE-control-flow function
(not CASE-statement) misbehaved in stored routines under some
circumstances. The problem resulted in a crash or wrong data
returned. The error happened when expressions in CASE-function
were not of the same character set.

A CASE-function should return values of the same character set
for all branches. Internally, that means a new Item-instance
for the CONVERT(... USING <some charset>)-function is added
to the item tree when needed. The problem was that such changes
were not properly recorded using THD::change_item_tree(),
thus dangling pointers remain in the item tree after
THD::rollback_item_tree_changes(), which lead to undefined
behavior (i.e. crash / wrong data) for subsequent executions of
the stored routine.

This bug was introduced by a patch for Bug 11753363
(44793 - CHARACTER SETS: CASE CLAUSE, UCS2 OR UTF32, FAILURE).

The fixed function is Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec().
New CONVERT-items are added in agg_item_set_converter(),
which calls THD::change_item_tree().

The problem was that an intermediate array was passed
to agg_item_set_converter(). Thus, THD::change_item_tree() there
was called on intermediate objects.

Note: those intermediate objects are allocated on THD's
memory root, so it's Ok to put them into "changed item lists".

The fix is to track changes on the correct objects.
