    Optimize prefix index queries to skip cluster index lookup when possible.
    
    Currently InnoDB will always fetch the clustered index (primary key
    index) for all prefix columns in an index, even when the value of a
    particular record is smaller than the prefix length. This change
    optimizes that case to use the record from the secondary index and avoid
    the extra lookup.
    
    Also adds two status vars that track how effective this is:
    
    innodb_secondary_index_triggered_cluster_reads:
    Times secondary index lookup triggered cluster lookup.
    
    innodb_secondary_index_triggered_cluster_reads_avoided:
    Times prefix optimization avoided triggering cluster lookup.
