  Aggregate two collations together taking

  1 == DERIVATION_NONE      - a mix of two different collations @n
  2 == DERIVATION_IMPLICIT  - a column @n
  3 == DERIVATION_COERCIBLE - a string constant.

  The most important rules are:
  -# If collations are the same:
  chose this collation, and the strongest derivation.
  -# If collations are different:
  - Character sets may differ, but only if conversion without
  data loss is possible. The caller provides flags whether
  character set conversion attempts should be done. If no
  flags are substituted, then the character sets must be the same.
  Currently processed flags are:
  MY_COLL_ALLOW_SUPERSET_CONV  - allow conversion to a superset
  MY_COLL_ALLOW_COERCIBLE_CONV - allow conversion of a coercible value
  - two EXPLICIT collations produce an error, e.g. this is wrong:
  CONCAT(expr1 collate latin1_swedish_ci, expr2 collate latin1_german_ci)
  - the side with smaller derivation value wins,
  i.e. a column is stronger than a string constant,
  an explicit COLLATE clause is stronger than a column.
  - if derivations are the same, we have DERIVATION_NONE,
  we'll wait for an explicit COLLATE clause which possibly can
  come from another argument later: for example, this is valid,
  but we don't know yet when collecting the first two arguments:
     @code
       CONCAT(latin1_swedish_ci_column,

/**
  Resolve a column reference in a sub-select.

  Resolve a column reference (usually inside a HAVING clause) against the
  SELECT and GROUP BY clauses of the query described by 'select'. The name
  resolution algorithm searches both the SELECT and GROUP BY clauses, and in
  case of a name conflict prefers GROUP BY column names over SELECT names. If
  both clauses contain different fields with the same names, a warning is
  issued that name of 'ref' is ambiguous. We extend ANSI SQL in that when no
  GROUP BY column is found, then a HAVING name is resolved as a possibly
  derived SELECT column. This extension is allowed only if the
  MODE_ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY sql mode isn't enabled.

  @param thd     current thread
  @param ref     column reference being resolved
  @param select  the select that ref is resolved against

  @note
    The resolution procedure is:
    - Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
    in the SELECT clause of Q.
    - Search for a column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
    in the GROUP BY clause of Q.
    - If found different columns with the same name in GROUP BY and SELECT
    - issue a warning and return the GROUP BY column,
    - otherwise
    - if the MODE_ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode is enabled return error
    - else return the found SELECT column.

  @param[in,out] reference   view column if this item was resolved to a
    view column

  @description
  The method resolves the column reference represented by 'this' as a column
  present in outer selects that contain current select.

  In prepared statements, because of cache, find_field_in_tables()
  can resolve fields even if they don't belong to current context.
  In this case this method only finds appropriate context and marks
  current select as dependent. The found reference of field should be
  provided in 'from_field'.

  The cache is critical for prepared statements of type:

  SELECT a FROM (SELECT a FROM test.t1) AS s1 NATURAL JOIN t2 AS s2;

  This is internally converted to a join similar to

  SELECT a FROM t1 AS s1,t2 AS s2 WHERE t2.a=t1.a;

  Without the cache, we would on re-prepare not know if 'a' did match
  s1.a or s2.a.

  @note
    This is the inner loop of Item_field::fix_fields:
  @code
        for each outer query Q_k beginning from the inner-most one
        {
          search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
          [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q_k;

          if such a column is not found
            Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
            [in table T_j] in the SELECT and GROUP clauses of Q_k.
        }
  @endcode

  @retval

    0   column fully fixed and fix_fields() should return FALSE
  @retval

/**
  Resolve the name of a column reference.

  The method resolves the column reference represented by 'this' as a column
  present in one of: FROM clause, SELECT clause, GROUP BY clause of a query
  Q, or in outer queries that contain Q.

  The name resolution algorithm used is (where [T_j] is an optional table
  name that qualifies the column name):

  @code
    resolve_column_reference([T_j].col_ref_i)
    {
      search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
      [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q;

      if such a column is NOT found AND    // Lookup in outer queries.
         there are outer queries
      {
        for each outer query Q_k beginning from the inner-most one
        {
          search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
          [in table T_j] in the FROM clause of Q_k;

          if such a column is not found
            Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i
            [in table T_j] in the SELECT and GROUP clauses of Q_k.
        }
      }
    }
  @endcode

    Notice that compared to Item_ref::fix_fields, here we first search the FROM
    clause, and then we search the SELECT and GROUP BY clauses.

    cs                 collation to use when comparing strings

  DESCRIPTION
    This method works exactly as Item::eq if the collation cs coincides with
    the collation of the compared objects. Otherwise, first the collations that
    differ from cs are replaced for cs and then the items are compared by
    Item::eq. After the comparison the original collations of items are
    restored.

  RETURN
    1    compared items has been detected as equal   
    0    otherwise

    QQ:
    The number of decimal digist in fact should be (str - decimal_point - 1).

    In case of 'e' and 'E' nr_of_decimals returns NOT_FIXED_DEC.
    In case if there is no 'e' or 'E' parser code in sql_yacc.yy
    never calls Item_float::Item_float() - it creates Item_decimal instead.

    The only piece of code where we call Item_float::Item_float(str, len)
    without having 'e' or 'E' is item_xmlfunc.cc, but this Item_float
    never appears in metadata itself. Changing the code to return
    (str - decimal_point - 1) does not make any changes in the test results.

    This should be addressed somehow.

    This procedure treats GROUP BY and SELECT clauses as one namespace for
    column references in HAVING. Notice that compared to
    Item_field::fix_fields, here we first search the SELECT and GROUP BY
    clauses, and then we search the FROM clause.

  @param[in]     thd        current thread
  @param[in,out] reference  view column if this item was resolved to a
    view column

  @todo
    Here we could first find the field anyway, and then test this
    condition, so that we can give a better error message -
    ER_WRONG_FIELD_WITH_GROUP, instead of the less informative
    ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR which we produce now.

    TRUE  if error
