Together with the field names, now qc_get_field_info also returns
field usage information, that is, in what context a field is used.
This allows, for instance, the cache to take action if a a particular
field is selected (SELECT a FROM ...), but not if it is used in a
GROUP BY clause (...GROUP BY a).
This caused a significant modifications of qc_mysqlembedded that
earlier did not walk the parse-tree, but instead looped over of a
list of st_select_lex instances that, the name notwithstanding,
also contain information about other things but SELECTs. The former
approach lost all contextual information, so it was not possible
to know where a particular field was used.
Now the parse tree is walked, which means that the contextual
information is known, and thus the field usage can be updated.
