Monty 7f96dd50e2 MDEV-6768 Wrong result with aggregate with join with no result set ...

When a query does implicit grouping and join operation produces an empty
result set, a NULL-complemented row combination is generated.
However, constant table fields still show non-NULL values.

What happens in the is that end_send_group() is called with a
const row but without any rows matching the WHERE clause.
This last part is shown by 'join->first_record' not being set.

This causes item->no_rows_in_result() to be called for all items to reset
all sum functions to their initial state. However fields are not set
to NULL.

The used fix is to produce NULL-complemented records for constant tables
as well. Also, reset the constant table's records back in case we're
in a subquery which may get re-executed.
An alternative fix would have item->no_rows_in_result() also work
with Item_field objects.

There is some other issues with the code:
- join->no_rows_in_result_called is used but never set.
- Tables that are used with group functions are not properly marked as
  maybe_null, which is required if the table rows should be regarded as
  null-complemented (not existing).
- The code that tries to detect if mixed_implicit_grouping should be set
  didn't take into account all usage of fields and sum functions.
- Item_func::restore_to_before_no_rows_in_result() called the wrong
  function.
- join->clear() does not use a table_map argument to clear_tables(),
  which caused it to ignore constant tables.
- unclear_tables() does not correctly restore status to what is
  was before clear_tables().

Main bug fix was to always use a table_map argument to clear_tables() and
always use join->clear() and clear_tables() together with unclear_tables().

Other fixes:
- Fixed Item_func::restore_to_before_no_rows_in_result()
- Set 'join->no_rows_in_result_called' when no_rows_in_result_set()
  is called.
- Removed not used argument from setup_end_select_func().
- More code comments
- Ensure that end_send_group() modifies the same fields as are in the
  result set.
- Changed return_zero_rows() to use pointers instead of references,
  similar to the rest of the code.
