MDEV-6679 Different optimizer plan for "a BETWEEN 'string' AND ?" and "a BETWEEN ? AND 'string'"

Item_string::eq() and Item_param::eq() in string context behaved differently.
Introducing a new class Item_basic_value to share the eq() code between
literals (Item_int, Item_double, Item_string, Item_null) and Item_param.
