Implementation of WL#2486 -

"Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".

* Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
  - in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
    ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
  - natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
    for any number/nesting of the joins.
  - column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
    of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.

* This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
  inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
  be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
  'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
  name resolution contexts used at parse time.

NOTICE:
- This patch is not complete in the sense that
  - there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
    one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
    with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
  - it does not include a new test specific for the task

sql/item.cc:
  - extra parameter to find_field_in_tables
  - find_field_in_real_table renamed to find_field_in_table
  - fixed comments/typos
sql/item.h:
  - added [first | last]_name_resolution_table to class
    Name_resolution_context
  - commented old code
  - standardized formatting
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  - refactored the find_field_in_XXX procedures,
  - added a new procedure for natural join table references,
  - renamed the find_field_in_XXX procedures to clearer names
sql/sp.cc:
  - pass the top-most list of the FROM clause to setup_tables
  - extra parameter to find_field_in_tables
sql/sql_acl.cc:
  - renamed find_field_in_table => find_field_in_table_ref
  - extra parameter to find_field_in_table_ref
  - commented old code
sql/sql_base.cc:
  This file contains the core of the implementation of the processing
  of NATURAL/USING joins (WL#2486).
  - added many comments to old code
  - refactored the group of find_field_in_XXX procedures, and added a
    new procedure for natural joins. There is one find_field_in_XXX procedure
    per each type of table reference (stored table, merge view, or natural
    join); one meta-procedure that selects the correct one depeneding on the
    table reference; and one procedure that goes over a list of table
    referenes.
  - NATURAL/USING joins are processed through the procedures:
      mark_common_columns, store_natural_using_join_columns,
      store_top_level_join_columns, setup_natural_join_row_types.
    The entry point to processing NATURAL/USING joins is the
    procedure 'setup_natural_join_row_types'.
  - Replaced the specialized Field_iterator_XXX iterators with one
    generic iterator over the fields of a table reference.
  - Simplified 'insert_fields' and 'setup_conds' due to encapsulation of
    the processing of natural joins in a separate set of procedures.

    support the list of tables for name resolution -
    context->first_name_resolution_table, and
    table_list->next_name_resolution_table.
    Needed to support an ugly trick to resolve inserted columns only in
    the first table.

    for each new JOIN ... ON, and popped afterwards.
  - Added support for NATURAL/USING joins.
sql/table.cc:
  - Added new class Natural_join_column to hide the heterogeneous
    representation of column references for stored tables and for
    views.
  - Added a new list TABLE_LIST::next_name_resolution_table to
    support name resolution with NATURAL/USING joins. Also added
    other members to TABLE_LIST to support NATURAL/USING joins.
  - Added a generic iterator over the fields of table references
    of various types - class Field_iterator_table_ref
sql/table.h:
  - Added new class Natural_join_column to hide the heterogeneous
    representation of column references for stored tables and for
