MDEV-10138 Support for decimals up to 38 digits

Decimals with float, double and decimal now works the following way:

- DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED is used when declaring DECIMALS without a firm number
  of decimals.  It's only used in asserts and my_decimal_int_part.
- FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS (31) is used to mark that a FLOAT or DOUBLE
  was defined without decimals. This is regarded as a floating point value.
- Max decimals allowed for FLOAT and DOUBLE is FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS-1
- Clients assumes that float and double with decimals >= NOT_FIXED_DEC are
  floating point values (no decimals)
- In the .frm decimals=FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS are used to define
  floating point for float and double (31, like before)

To ensure compatibility with old clients we do:

- When storing float and double, we change NOT_FIXED_DEC to
  FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS.
- When creating fields from .frm we change for float and double
  FLOATING_POINT_DEC to NOT_FIXED_DEC
- When sending definition for a float/decimal field without decimals
  to the client as part of a result set we convert NOT_FIXED_DEC to
  FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS.
- variance() and std() has changed to limit the decimals to
  FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS -1 to not get the double converted floating point.
  (This was to preserve compatiblity)
- FLOAT and DOUBLE still have 30 as max number of decimals.

Bugs fixed:

variance() printed more decimals than we support for double values.

New behaviour:
- Strings now have 38 decimals instead of 30 when converted to decimal
- CREATE ... SELECT with a decimal with > 30 decimals will create a column
  with a smaller range than before as we are trying to preserve the number of
  decimals.


Other changes
- We are now using the obsolete bit FIELDFLAG_LEFT_FULLSCREEN to specify
  decimals > 31
- NOT_FIXED_DEC is now declared in one place
- For clients, NOT_FIXED_DEC is always 31 (to ensure compatibility).
  On the server NOT_FIXED_DEC is DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED (39)
- AUTO_SEC_PART_DIGITS is taken from DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED
- DOUBLE conversion functions are now using DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of
  NOT_FIXED_DEC

With normal precession we can handle 65 digits. MariaDB can store in
the .frm up to 63 digits. By default we use DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED digits
when converting strings to decimal, so we don't want to set this too high.
To not use up all digits for the scale we limit the number of decimals to
38.
