debug binary asserts, release binary creates the table with column datatype set to: decimal(0,0) DEFAULT NULL

How to repeat:
on debug server:

drop table if exists t1;
create table t1 select ceil(((linestringfromwkb(1) div null)));

please also add this testcase to the testsuite:

drop table if exists t2;
create table t2 select if(1,convert('',unsigned),1);
[15 Dec 2010 16:22] MySQL Verification Team
another testcase for 5.1.55-debug and 5.5.9-debug... this interferes with random testing...

create table t2 select floor((select geomfromtext("point(1 1)") div 1 from t1)) d;

Noted in 5.1.57, 5.5.12, 5.6.3 changelogs.

An assertion could be raised in
Item_func_int_val::fix_num_length_and_dec() due to overflow for
geometry functions.
