This patch adds cost estimation for the queries with ORDER BY / GROUP BY and LIMIT. If there was a ref/range access to the table whose rows were required to be ordered in the result set the optimizer always employed this access though a scan by a different index that was compatible with the required order could be cheaper to produce the first L rows of the result set. Now for such queries the optimizer makes a choice between the cheapest ref/range accesses not compatible with the given order and index scans compatible with it.
