Alexander Barkov 1fa7c9a3cd MDEV-31724 Compressed varchar values lost on joins when sorting on columns from joined table(s) ...

Field_varstring::get_copy_func() did not take into account
that functions do_varstring1[_mb], do_varstring2[_mb] do not support
compressed data.

Changing the return value of Field_varstring::get_copy_func()
to `do_field_string` if there is a compresion and truncation
at the same time. This fixes the problem, so now it works as follows:
- val_str() uncompresses the data
- The prefix is then calculated on the uncompressed data

Additionally, introducing two new copying functions
- do_varstring1_no_truncation()
- do_varstring2_no_truncation()

Using new copying functions in cases when:
- a Field_varstring with length_bytes==1 is changing to a longer
    Field_varstring with length_bytes==1
- a Field_varstring with length_bytes==2 is changing to a longer
    Field_varstring with length_bytes==2

In these cases we don't care neither of compression nor
of multi-byte prefixes: the entire data gets fully copied
from the source column to the target column as is.

This is a kind of new optimization, but this also was needed
to preserve existing MTR test results.
