Fixed bug in extended key handling when there is no primary key
Extended keys works by first checking if the engine supports extended keys. If yes, it extends secondary key with primary key components and mark the secondary keys as HA_EXT_NOSAME (unique). If we later notice that there where no primary key, the extended key information for secondary keys in share->key_info is reset. However the key_info->flag HA_EXT_NOSAME was not reset! This causes some strange things to happen: - Tables that have no primary key or secondary index that contained the primary key would be wrongly optimized as the secondary key could be thought to be unique when it was not and not unique when it was. - The problem was not shown in EXPLAIN because of a bug in create_ref_for_key() that caused EQ_REF to be displayed by EXPLAIN as REF when extended keys where used and the secondary key contained the primary key. This is fixed with: - Removed wrong test in make_join_select() which did not detect that key where unique when a secondary key contains the primary. - Moved initialization of extended keys from create_key_infos() to init_from_binary_frm_image() after we know if there is a usable primary key or not. One disadvantage with this approach is that key_info->key_parts may have not used slots (for keys we thought could be extended but could not). Fixed by adding a check for unused key_parts to copy_keys_from_share(). Other things: - Simplified copying of first key part in create_key_infos(). - Added a lot of code comments in code that I had to check as part of finding the issue. - Fixed some indentation. - Replaced a couple of looks using references to pointers in C context where the reference does not give any benefit. - Updated Aria and Maria to not assume the all key_info->rec_per_key are in one memory block (this could happen when using dervived tables with many keys). - Fixed a bug where key_info->rec_per_key where not allocated - Optimized TABLE::add_tmp_key() to only call alloc() once. (No logic changes) Test case changes: - innodb_mysql.test changed index as an index the optimizer thought was unique, was not. (Table had no primary key) TODO: - Move code that checks for partial or too long keys to the primary loop earlier that initally decides if we should add extended key fields. This is needed to ensure that HA_EXT_NOSAME is not set for partial or too long keys. It will also shorten the current code notable.
