assert on UTF-8 columns
Problem:
=======
(1) Multi-byte character cases are not considered during prefix index
cluster optimization check. It leads to fetch of improper results during
read operation.
(2) Strict assert in row_sel_field_store_in_mysql_format_func and it asserts
for prefix index record to mysql conversion.
Solution:
========
(1) Consider the case of multi-byte character during prefix index
cluster optimization check.
(2) Relax the assert in row_sel_field_store_in_mysql_format_func to allow
prefix index record to mysql format conversion.

Optimize prefix index queries to skip cluster index lookup when possible.
Currently InnoDB will always fetch the clustered index (primary key
index) for all prefix columns in an index, even when the value of a
particular record is smaller than the prefix length. This change
optimizes that case to use the record from the secondary index and avoid
the extra lookup.
Also adds two status vars that track how effective this is:
innodb_secondary_index_triggered_cluster_reads:
Times secondary index lookup triggered cluster lookup.
innodb_secondary_index_triggered_cluster_reads_avoided:
Times prefix optimization avoided triggering cluster lookup.
