Factor the code that updates count, count_distinct,
count_distinct_single_occurrence into class Basic_stats_collector
Change from Histogram_builder and its descendant Histogram_builder_json
to Histogram_builder (the interface), and Histogram_binary_builder,
Histogram_json_builder.
In Histogram_json_builder, do not forget to collect the right bound
of the right-most bucket.
* it also adds an "explain select" statement to the test so that the fprintf calls
can print the computed intervals to mysqld.1.err

This fixes the wrong calculation for avg_frequency in json histograms
by replacing the specific histogram objects with the generic Histogram_base class.
It also restores get/set size functions as they were useful in calculating fields
for binary histogram.

A demo of how to use in-memory data structure for histogram.
The patch shows how to
* convert string form of data to binary form
* compare two values in binary form
* compute a fraction for val in [X, Y] range.
grep for GSOC-TODO for notes.
Preparation for handling different kinds of histograms:
- In Column_statistics, change "Histogram histogram" into
"Histogram *histogram_". This allows for different kinds
of Histogram classes with virtual functions.
- [Almost] remove the usage of Histogram->set_values and
Histogram->set_size. The code outside the histogram should
not make any assumptions about what/how is stored in the Histogram.
- Introduce drafts of methods to read/save histograms to/from disk.
This fixes the memory allocation for json histogram builder and add more column types for testing.
Some challenges at the moment include:
* Garbage value at the end of JSON array still persists.
* Garbage value also gets appended to bucket values if the column is a primary key.
* There's a memory leak resulting in a "Warning: Memory not freed" message at the end of tests.

This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
