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.
only collect persistent stats for columns explicitly listed
by the user in the ANALYZE TABLE PERSISTENT FOR COLUMNS (...)
clause. The engine can extend table->read_set as much as
it wants, it should not affect the collected statistics.
Test case from the 3b94309a6c applies - it used to crash,
because ha_partition extended table->read_set after the loop that
initialized some objects based on bits in the read_set but before the
loop that used these objects based on bits in the read_set.
This reverts the commit 3b94309a6c but keeps the test
Because the fix is a hack that isn't supposed to do anything,
and relies on a side-effect of rnd_init inside ha_partition.
A different fix is coming up.
The issue here was histogram statistics were being used even when
the level of optimizer_use_condition_selectivity doesn't allow
usage of statistics from histogram.
The histogram statistics are read for a table only when
optimizer_use_condition_selectivity > 3. But the TABLE structure can be
stored in the internal table cache and be reused for the next query.
So in this case the histogram statistics will be available for the next query.
The fix would be to make sure to use the histogram statistics only when
optimizer_use_condition_selectivity > 3.
For BIT columns when EITS is collected, we store the integral value in
text representation in the min and max fields of the statistical table
When this value is retrieved from the statistical table to original table
field then we try to store the text representation in the original field
which is INCORRECT.
The value that is retrieved should be converted to integral type and that
value should be stored back in the original field. This would get us the
correct estimate for selectivity of the predicate.
The assertion failed in handler::ha_reset upon SELECT under

This was the debug-only failure, though the problem is mush wider:
* MY_BITMAP is a structure containing my_bitmap_map, the latter is a raw
bitmap.
* read_set, write_set and vcol_set of TABLE are the pointers to MY_BITMAP
* The rest of MY_BITMAPs are stored in TABLE and TABLE_SHARE
* The pointers to the stored MY_BITMAPs, like orig_read_set etc, and
sometimes all_set and tmp_set, are assigned to the pointers.
* Sometimes tmp_use_all_columns is used to substitute the raw bitmap
directly with all_set.bitmap
* Sometimes even bitmaps are directly modified, like in
TABLE::update_virtual_field(): bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) is called.
The last three bullets in the list, when used together (which is mostly
always) make the program flow cumbersome and impossible to follow,
notwithstanding the errors they cause, like this MDEV-17556, where tmp_set
pointer was assigned to read_set, write_set and vcol_set, then its bitmap
was substituted with all_set.bitmap by dbug_tmp_use_all_columns() call,
and then bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) was applied to all this.
To untangle this knot, the rule should be applied:
* Never substitute bitmaps! This patch is about this.
orig_*, all_set bitmaps are never substituted already.
This patch changes the following function prototypes:
* tmp_use_all_columns, dbug_tmp_use_all_columns
to accept MY_BITMAP** and to return MY_BITMAP * instead of my_bitmap_map*
* tmp_restore_column_map, dbug_tmp_restore_column_maps to accept
MY_BITMAP* instead of my_bitmap_map*
These functions now will substitute read_set/write_set/vcol_set directly,
and won't touch underlying bitmaps.
For EITS collection min and max fields are allocated for each column
that is set in the read_set bitmap of a table. This allocation of min and max
fields happens inside alloc_statistics_for_table.
For a partitioned table ha_rnd_init is called inside the function
collect_statistics_for_table which sets the read_set bitmap for the columns
inside the partition expression. This happens only when there is a write lock
on the partitioned table.
But the allocation happens before this, so min and max fields are not allocated
for the columns involved in the partition expression.
This resulted in a crash, as the EITS statistics were collected but there was
no min and max field to store the value to.
The fix would be to call ha_rnd_init inside the function alloc_statistics_for_table
that would make sure that min and max fields are allocated for the columns
involved in the partition expression.

An oveflow was happening on windows because on Windows sizeof(ulong) is 4 bytes
while it is 8 bytes on Linux.
Switched avg_frequency and avg length for column statistics to ulonglong.
Switched avg_frequency for index statistics to ulonglong.
