WL#7582: Refactor strings: use of (const char *) in LEX_USER

Affects: Server-5.7   —   Status: Complete

Safe refactoring changes are needed while refactoring strings in the server in
order to minimize merge complexity.

To recap:
  - the server codebase now actively uses (char *) and LEX_STRING
    to deal with strings;
  - the reason for this is mostly legacy. In other words, even
    immutable strings are represented as (char *).
  - new strings will be mostly dealing with (const char *);
  - the idea of "safe refactoring changes" is to change (char *)
    to (const char *) where possible. Those changes are essentially
    no-change, in the sense that they don't change the behaviour.
    Because of that the changes can be pushed directly to trunk.

This WL is to change (char *) and LEX_STRING to (const char *)
and LEX_CSTRING respectively in the LEX_USER structure and
related functions.

This WL can also be seen as a pre-requisite for "Define and
prove methodology to switch to new strings" because the "safe
refactoring changes" will be a part of the methodology.

User Documentation
==================

Code refectoring. No user documentation needed.
NF1: Code refactoring should not effect the current behavior.

NF2: Should work on all platforms
The worklog does refactor of LEX_USER struct and  related functions/subsystems
that deal with LEX_USER. Refactoring involves changing char* to const char* and
usage of LEX_CSTRING with respect
to char* member fields. Related change involve const correctness of function
prototypes and passing
const references around functions when and as required. This refactoring is in
accordance with WL#7286 which would allow for a 'safe' transitional refactor as
per the description provided there to 'new string' classes and framework. The
data members user, host, password, plugin and auth are modified to have type
LEX_CSTRING of LEX_USER. This results in a cascade of class/struct data
variables and functions which has undergone which are described below. The
changes are to be 
done should be logically coherent and touch some related subsystes and thus at
some point const_cast
is used not to propagate the changes further. In the case of LEX_USER
refactoring, const_cast is
only when calling the acl_getroot function.
In terms of classses and their data members which is changed to LEX_CSTRING is
listed below:
1. LEX_USER (sql/structs.h)hanges in function
prototypes, functions and class/struct member
     LEX_CSTRING user
     LEX_CSTRING host
     LEX_CSTRING password
     LEX_CSTRING plugin
     LEX_CSTRING auth
2. ACL_USER (sql/auth/sql_auth_cache.h)
     LEX_CSTRING plugin
3. MPVIO_EXT (sql/auth/sql_authentication.h)
     LEX_CSTRING acl_user_plugin;
4. Change of following variables in sql/auth/sql_authentication.h to LEX_CSTRING
     (1) native_password_plugin_name
     (2) old_password_plugin_name
     (3) sha256_password_plugin_name
     (4) validate_password_plugin_name
     (5) default_auth_plugin_name
5. Event_time (sql/event_data_objects.h)
     LEX_CSTRING m_definer_user
     LEX_CSTRING m_definer_host
6. Event_job_data (sql/event_data_objects.h)
     LEX_CSTRING m_definer_userp
     LEX_CSTRING m_definer_host
7. THD (sql/sql_class.h)
     LEX_CSTRING m_invoker_user
     LEX_CSTRING m_invoker_host

The function names whose prototypes or other changes that are modified as part
of the refactoring include:
1. optimize_plugin_compare_by_pointer 
2. acl_insert_user 
3. ACL_PROXY_USER::store_pk 
4. ACL_PROXY_USER::store_data_record 
5. acl_update_user 
6. do_auth_once
7. check_change_password
8. plugin_is_ready
9. create_string (sp.cc)
10. sp_head::set_definer
11. make_lex_string_root
12. make_lex_string
13. change_security_context
14. check_string_byte_length
15. check_host_name
16. check_string_byte_length
17. check_string_char_length
18. plugin_find_internal
19. plugin_status
20. plugin_lock_by_name
21. plugin_find_by_type
22. append_definer
23. reconstruct_definer_clause
The refactoring has been done to some cohesive set of functions that relates to
the authentication subsystem with some changes in plugin & stored procedure
layer. Refactoring has been stopped and char* string is passed around as changes
need to be done at storage engine handler layer or certain 
low-level platform API(memroot,string related functionality) that will affect
every part of the code.
