WL#3415: implement consistent semantics for assigning and using user variables in same statement

Affects: WorkLog-3.4   —   Status: Un-Assigned

A statement like the following has undefined meaning:

select @a, @a := @a + count(*) from t group by f;

The results depend entirely on how the optimizer works, etc.  See BUG#1739 and
BUG#19792 for full examples.

The suggested feature is to define a certain behavior for queries like this,
which assign to and use the same variable in a single statement.  And then
implement that behavior.

This is not trivial, as it may constrain how the optimizer works in some cases,
etc.  Note that Sergei wrote on 29 Jul 2006:

The idea of this WL entry is to fix those "bugs" in a satisfying way.
