(Variant#3: Allow cross-charset comparisons, use a special
CHARSET_INFO to create lookup keys. Review input addressed.)
Equalities that compare utf8mb{3,4}_general_ci strings, like:
WHERE ... utf8mb3_key_col=utf8mb4_value (MB3-4-CMP)
can now be used to construct ref[const] access and also participate
in multiple-equalities.
This means that utf8mb3_key_col can be used for key-lookups when
compared with an utf8mb4 constant, field or expression using '=' or
'<=>' comparison operators.
This is controlled by optimizer_switch='cset_narrowing=on', which is
OFF by default.
IMPLEMENTATION
Item value comparison in (MB3-4-CMP) is done using utf8mb4_general_ci.
This is valid as any utf8mb3 value is also an utf8mb4 value.
When making index lookup value for utf8mb3_key_col, we do "Charset
Narrowing": characters that are in the Basic Multilingual Plane (=BMP) are
copied as-is, as they can be represented in utf8mb3. Characters that are
outside the BMP cannot be represented in utf8mb3 and are replaced
with U+FFFD, the "Replacement Character".
In utf8mb4_general_ci, the Replacement Character compares as equal to any
character that's not in BMP. Because of this, the constructed lookup value
will find all index records that would be considered equal by the original
condition (MB3-4-CMP).

(Added handling of UPDATE/DELETE and partitioning w/o index)
If the properties of the used collation allow, do the following
equivalent rewrites:
1. UPPER(key_col)=expr -> key_col=expr
expr=UPPER(key_col) -> expr=key_col
(also rewrite both sides of the equality at the same time)
2. UPPER(key_col) IN (constant-list) -> key_col IN (constant-list)
- Mark utf8mb{3,4}_general_ci as collations that allow this.
- Add optimizer_switch='sargable_casefold=ON' to control this.
(ON by default in this patch)
- Cover the rewrite in Optimizer Trace, rewrite name is
"sargable_casefold_removal".
With session tracking on the tx_isolation of importance to
connector frameworks, its important that tracking of tx_isolation
does get informed if a user `set session transaction_isolation=X`
as the alias for tx_isolation.
Rather than just implement this for one variable alias, it
is implemented for all aliases.
To assist with this the key hash of session_tracker is now made up of
the offset, not the sys_var pointer.
The impacts of aliases are:
- If track one variable, its alias changes, you get a tracking
change on the variable you are monitoring.
- If you track two aliased variables of each other, changing
a variable will have a tracking events for only one of them.
Aliases of Sys_var_bit are not implemented, because we don't
have them, so would've been no way to verify that the new code works.

Introduces @@optimizer_switch flag: hash_join_cardinality
When this option is on, use EITS statistics to produce tighter bounds
for hash join output cardinality.
This patch is an extension / replacement to a similar patch in 10.6
New features:
- optimizer_switch hash_join_cardinality is on by default
- records_out is set to fanout when HASH is used
- Fixed bug in is_eits_usable: The function did not work with views
Introduce @@optimizer_switch flag: hash_join_cardinality

This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
