Bug #30584: delete with order by and limit clauses does not

            use limit efficiently
Bug #36569: UPDATE ... WHERE ... ORDER BY... always does a
            filesort even if not required

Also two bugs reported after QA review (before the commit
of bugs above to public trees, no documentation needed):

Bug #53737: Performance regressions after applying patch
            for bug 36569
Bug #53742: UPDATEs have no effect after applying patch
            for bug 36569


Execution of single-table UPDATE and DELETE statements did not use the 
same optimizer as was used in the compilation of SELECT statements. 
Instead, it had an optimizer of its own that did not take into account 
that you can omit sorting by retrieving rows using an index.

Extra optimization has been added: when applicable, single-table 
UPDATE/DELETE statements use an existing index instead of filesort. A 
corresponding SELECT query would do the former.

Also handling of the DESC ordering expression has been added when
reverse index scan is applicable.

From now on most single table UPDATE and DELETE statements show the 
same disk access patterns as the corresponding SELECT query. We verify 
this by comparing the result of SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Sort%

Currently the get_index_for_order function 
a) checks quick select index (if any) for compatibility with the
   ORDER expression list or
b) chooses the cheapest available compatible index, but only if 
   the index scan is cheaper than filesort.
Second way is implemented by the new test_if_cheaper_ordering
function (extracted part the test_if_skip_sort_order()).

-
-  SYNOPSIS
-    get_index_for_order()
-      table  Table to be accessed
-      order  Required ordering
-      limit  Number of records that will be retrieved
-
-  DESCRIPTION
-    Find the best index that allows to retrieve first #limit records in the 
-    given order cheaper then one would retrieve them using full table scan.
-
-  IMPLEMENTATION
-    Run through all table indexes and find the shortest index that allows
-    records to be retrieved in given order. We look for the shortest index
-    as we will have fewer index pages to read with it.
-
-    This function is used only by UPDATE/DELETE, so we take into account how
-    the UPDATE/DELETE code will work:
-     * index can only be scanned in forward direction
-     * HA_EXTRA_KEYREAD will not be used
-    Perhaps these assumptions could be relaxed.
-
-  RETURN
-    Number of the index that produces the required ordering in the cheapest way
-    MAX_KEY if no such index was found.
