(Review input addressed)
(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".
