Fixed bug #14896.
This bug in Field_string::cmp resulted in a wrong comparison with keys in partial indexes over multi-byte character fields. Given field a is declared as a varchar(16) collate utf8_unicode_ci INDEX(a(4)) gives us an example of such an index. Wrong key comparisons could lead to wrong result sets if the selected query execution plan used a range scan by a partial index over a utf8 character field. This also caused wrong results in many other cases. mysql-test/t/ctype_utf8.test: Added test cases for bug #14896. mysql-test/r/ctype_utf8.result: Added test cases for bug #14896. sql/field.cc: Fixed bug #14896.
