Also fixing: MDEV-31719 Wrong result of: WHERE inet6_column IN ('','::1')
Problem:
When converting an Item value from string to INET6 it's possible
that the Item value itself is a not-NULL string value,
while the following result of the string-to-INET6 conversion returns NULL.
Methods cmp_item_xxx::set(), cmp_item_xxx::store_value_by_template(),
in_inet6::set() did not take this scenario into account and
tested source_item->null_value, which does not indicate if the conversion
failed.
Changing the return data type of the mentioned methods from "void" to "bool".
"true" means that:
- either the source Item was NULL
- or the source Item was not NULL, but the data type coversion to
the destination data type (INET6 in this issue) returned NULL.
"false" means that the Item was not NULL and the data type conversion
to the destination data type worked without error.
This patches fixes the INET6 data type.
After merging to 10.9, this patch should also fix same problems in UUID.

MariaDB: The open source relational database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.

Live QA for beginner contributors
MariaDB has a dedicated time each week when we answer new contributor questions live on Zulip. From 8:00 to 10:00 UTC on Mondays, and 10:00 to 12:00 UTC on Thursdays, anyone can ask any questions they’d like, and a live developer will be available to assist.
New contributors can ask questions any time, but we will provide immediate feedback during that interval.
