Fix for bug #32202: ORDER BY not working with GROUP BY

The bug is a regression introduced by the fix for bug30596. The problem
was that in cases when groups in GROUP BY correspond to only one row,
and there is ORDER BY, the GROUP BY was removed and the ORDER BY
rewritten to ORDER BY <group_by_columns> without checking if the
columns in GROUP BY and ORDER BY are compatible. This led to
incorrect ordering of the result set as it was sorted using the
GROUP BY columns. Additionaly, the code discarded ASC/DESC modifiers
from ORDER BY even if its columns were compatible with the GROUP BY
ones.

This patch fixes the regression by checking if ORDER BY columns form a
prefix of the GROUP BY ones, and rewriting ORDER BY only in that case,
preserving the ASC/DESC modifiers. That check is sufficient, since the
GROUP BY columns contain a unique index.

sql/sql_select.cc:
  In cases when groups in GROUP BY correspond to only one row and there
  is ORDER BY, rewrite the query to ORDER BY <group_by_columns> only if
  the columns in ORDER BY and GROUP BY are compatible, i.e. either one
  forms a prefix for another.
