- Closes PR #2839
- Usage of `Column_definition_fix_attributes()` suggested by Alexandar
Barkov - thanks bar, that is better than hook in server code
(reverted 22f3ebe4bf)
- This method is called after parsing the data type:
* in `CREATE/ALTER TABLE`
* in SP: return data type, parameter data type, variable data type
- We want to disallow all these use cases of MYSQL_JSON.

- We don't test `json` MySQL tables from `std_data` since the error `ER_TABLE_NEEDS_REBUILD
` is invoked. However MDEV-32235 will override this test after merge,
but leave it to show behavior and historical changes.

This patch solves two key problems.
1. There is a type number clash between MySQL and MariaDB. The number
245, used for MariaDB Virtual Fields is the same as MySQL's JSON.
This leads to corrupt FRM errors if unhandled. The code properly
checks frm table version number and if it matches 5.7+ (until 10.0+)
it will assume it is dealing with a MySQL table with the JSON
datatype.
2. MySQL JSON datatype uses a proprietary format to pack JSON data. The
patch introduces a datatype plugin which parses the format and convers
it to its string representation.
The intended conversion path is to only use the JSON datatype within
ALTER TABLE <table> FORCE, to force a table recreate. This happens
during mysql_upgrade or via a direct ALTER TABLE <table> FORCE.
