Grouping by a subquery in a query with a distinct aggregate
function lead to a wrong result (wrong and unordered
grouping values).
There are two related problems:
1) The query like this:
SELECT (SELECT t1.a) aa, COUNT(DISTINCT b) c
FROM t1 GROUP BY aa
returned wrong result, because the outer reference "t1.a"
in the subquery was substituted with the Item_ref item.
The Item_ref item obtains data from the result_field object
that refreshes once after the end of each group. This data
is not applicable to filesort since filesort() doesn't care
about groups (and doesn't update result_field objects with
copy_fields() and so on). Also that data is not applicable
to group separation algorithm: end_send_group() checks every
record with test_if_group_changed() that evaluates Item_ref
items, but it refreshes those Item_ref-s only after the end
of group, that is a vicious circle and the grouped column
values in the output are shifted.
Fix: if
a) we grouping by a subquery and
b) that subquery has outer references to FROM list
of the grouping query,
then we substitute these outer references with
Item_direct_ref like references under aggregate
functions: Item_direct_ref obtains data directly
from the current record.
2) The query with a non-trivial grouping expression like:
SELECT (SELECT t1.a) aa, COUNT(DISTINCT b) c
FROM t1 GROUP BY aa+0
also returned wrong result, since JOIN::exec() substitutes
references to top-level aliases in SELECT list with Item_copy
caching items. Item_copy items have same refreshing policy
as Item_ref items, so the whole groping expression with
Item_copy inside returns wrong result in filesort() and
end_send_group().
Fix: include aliased items into GROUP BY item tree instead
of Item_ref references to them.

Bug #45640: optimizer bug produces wrong results
Item_field::fix_fields() has been modified to resolve
aliases in GROUP BY item trees into aliased items instead
of Item_ref items.

- Item::find_item_processor() has been introduced.
- Item_ref::walk() has been modified to apply processors
to itself too (not only to referenced item).

Bug #45640: optimizer bug produces wrong results
- The fix_inner_refs function has been modified to treat
subquery outer references like outer fields under aggregate
functions, if they are included in GROUP BY item tree.
- The find_order_in_list function has been modified to
fix Item_field alias fields included in the GROUP BY item
trees in a special manner.
