/*
  The parser generates generic data structures, we need to set them up
  as the rest of the code expects to find them. This is in reality part
  of the syntax check of the parser code.

  It is necessary to call this function in the case of a CREATE TABLE
  statement, in this case we do it early in the check_partition_info
  function.

  It is necessary to call this function for ALTER TABLE where we
  assign a completely new partition structure, in this case we do it
  in prep_alter_part_table after discovering that the partition
  structure is entirely redefined.

  It's necessary to call this method also for ALTER TABLE ADD/REORGANIZE
  of partitions, in this we call it in prep_alter_part_table after
  making some initial checks but before going deep to check the partition
  info, we also assign the column_list variable before calling this function
  here.

  Finally we also call it immediately after returning from parsing the
  partitioning text found in the frm file.

  This function mainly fixes the VALUES parts, these are handled differently
  whether or not we use column list partitioning. Since the parser doesn't
  know which we are using we need to set-up the old data structures after
  the parser is complete when we know if what type of partitioning the
  base table is using.

  For column lists we will handle this in the fix_column_value_function.
  For column lists it is sufficient to verify that the number of columns
  and number of elements are in synch with each other. So only partitioning
  using functions need to be set-up to their data structures.
