/**
  Fold boolean condition {=, <>, >, >=, <, <=, <=>} involving constants and
  fields (or references to fields), possibly determining if the condition is
  always true or false based on type range of the field, or possibly simplifying
  >=, <= to = if constant lies on the range border.
 
  Also fold such conditions if they are present as arguments of other functions
  in the same way, except there we replace the arguments with manifest FALSE or
  field <> field to exclude NULLs if the field is nullable, cf.
  ignore_unknown().
 
  The constants are always converted to constants of the type of the field, no
  widening of the field type in therefore necessary after this folding for
  comparison to occur. When converting constants to decimal (when the field is a
  decimal), the constant will receive the same number of fractional decimals as
  the field. If decimal constant fraction truncation occurs, the comparison
  {GT,GE,LT,LE} logic is adjusted to preserve semantics without widening the
  field's type.

  @param[out] cond_value resulting value of the condition
     - COND_OK:    condition must be evaluated (e.g int == 3)
     - COND_TRUE:  always true                 (e.g signed tinyint < 128)
     - COND_FALSE: always false                (e.g unsigned tinyint < 0)
 
  @param      manifest_result
                         For IS NOT NULL on a not nullable item, if true,
                         return item TRUE (1), else remove condition and return
                         COND_TRUE. For cmp items, this is determined by
                         Item_bool_func2::ignore_unknown.
