  A fix and test case for Bug#5985 ""prepare stmt from "select rand(?)"
  crashes server." The fix makes Item_func_rand prepared-statements
  aware plus it fixes the case when RAND is used in prepared
  statements and replication is on (as well as several similar issues).
  Until now we did not reset THD before every execution of a prepared
  statement, so if some execution had set thd->time_zone_used
  or thd->rand_used they would not be reset until next mysql_parse.
