    DESCRIPTION
      Execute the engine. The result of execution is subquery value that is
      either captured by previously set up select_result-based 'sink' or
      stored somewhere by the exec() method itself.

      A required side effect: If at least one pushed-down predicate is
      disabled, subselect_engine->no_rows() must return correct result after 
      the exec() call.

    RETURN
      0 - OK
      1 - Either an execution error, or the engine was "changed", and the
          caller should call exec() again for the new engine.

    produced a row with NULL certain components. We need to use it for cases
    like
      (oe1, oe2) IN (SELECT t.key, t.no_key FROM t1)
    where we do index lookup on t.key=oe1 but need also to check if there
    was a row such that t.no_key IS NULL.

      (oe1, oe2) IN (SELECT primary_key, non_key_maybe_null_field FROM tbl)

    We could use uniquesubquery_engine for the first component and let
    Item_is_not_null_test( non_key_maybe_null_field) to handle the second.

    However, subqueries like the above are currently not handled by index
    lookup-based subquery engines, the engine applicability check misses
    them: it doesn't switch the engine for case of artificial having and
    [eq_]ref access (only for artificial having + ref_or_null or no having).
    The above example subquery is handled as a full-blown SELECT with eq_ref
    access to one table.

    Due to this limitation, the "artificial having" currently needs to be 
    checked by only in indexsubquery_engine.
