  Resolve a column reference in a sub-select.

  Resolve a column reference (usually inside a HAVING clause) against the
  SELECT and GROUP BY clauses of the query described by 'select'. The name
  resolution algorithm searches both the SELECT and GROUP BY clauses, and in
  case of a name conflict prefers GROUP BY column names over SELECT names. If
  both clauses contain different fields with the same names, a warning is
  issued that name of 'ref' is ambiguous. We extend ANSI SQL in that when no
  GROUP BY column is found, then a HAVING name is resolved as a possibly
  derived SELECT column. This extension is allowed only if the
  MODE_ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY sql mode isn't enabled.

  @param session     current thread
  @param ref     column reference being resolved
  @param select  the select that ref is resolved against

  @note
    The resolution procedure is:
    - Search for a column or derived column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
    in the SELECT clause of Q.
    - Search for a column named col_ref_i [in table T_j]
    in the GROUP BY clause of Q.
    - If found different columns with the same name in GROUP BY and SELECT
    - issue a warning and return the GROUP BY column,
    - otherwise
    - if the MODE_ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode is enabled return error
    - else return the found SELECT column.
