In the function QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::init_ror_merged_scan we create a seperate handler if the handler in
head->file cannot be reused. The flag free_file tells us if we have a seperate handler or not.
There are cases where you might create a handler and then there might be a failure(running ALTER)
and then we have to revert the handler back to the original one. The code does that
but it does not reset the flag 'free_file' in this case.

The problem here is EITS statistics does not calculate statistics for the partitions of the table.
So a temporary solution would be to not read EITS statistics for partitioned tables.
Also disabling reading of EITS for columns that participate in the partition list of a table.
In this case we were trying to access memory for key_parts which we did not
assign for a fields because it did not any EITS statistics.
The check if EITS statistics for a column is avaialable or not was missing.
main.derived_cond_pushdown: Move all 10.3 tests to the end,
trim trailing white space, and add an "End of 10.3 tests" marker.
Add --sorted_result to tests where the ordering is not deterministic.
main.win_percentile: Add --sorted_result to tests where the
ordering is no longer deterministic.
For index merge union[or sort union], the estimates are not taken into account while calculating the selectivity of
a condition. So instead of showing the estimates of the index merge union[or sort union], it shows estimates equal to
all the records of the table.
The fix for the issue is to include the selectivity of index merge
union[or sort union] while calculating the selectivity of a condition.

Selectivity analysis should be disabled for Geometrical columns
for the case like geometric_field= string_constant.
Currently for selectivity calculation we perform range analysis for a column even when we don't have any statistics(EITS).
This makes less sense but is used to catch contradiction for WHERE condition.
So the solution is to not perform range analysis for selectivity calculation for columns that do not have statistics.
and use_stat_tables= PREFERABLY
Currently the code that calculates selectivity for a table does not take into account the case when
we can have GROUP BY optimization (looses index scan).
This patch introduces support for the system variable eq_range_index_dive_limit
that existed in MySQL starting from 5.6. The variable sets a limit for
index dives into equality ranges. Index dives are performed by optimizer
to estimate the number of rows in range scans. Index dives usually provide
good estimate but they are pretty expensive. To estimate the number of rows
in equality ranges statistical data on indexes can be employed. Its usage gives
not so good estimates but it's cheap. So if the number of equality dives
required by an index scan exceeds the set limit no dives for equality
ranges are performed by the optimizer for this index.
As the new system variable is introduced in a stable version the default
value for it is set to a special value meaning there is no limit for the number
of index dives performed by the optimizer.
The patch partially uses the MySQL code for WL 5957
'Statistics-based Range optimization for many ranges'.
Now the boolean data type is preserved in hybrid functions and MIN/MAX,
so COALESCE(bool_expr,bool_expr) and MAX(bool_expr) are correctly
detected by JSON_OBJECT() as being boolean rather than numeric expressions.
- Removing tests of item->type() against INT_ITEM and replacing
them to calls of new method item->is_bool_literal().
- Changing constant conditions to use Item_bool() instead of Item_int().
