Bug #22781: SQL_BIG_RESULT fails to influence sort plan
Currently SQL_BIG_RESULT is checked only at compile time. However, additional optimizations may take place after this check that change the sort method from 'filesort' to sorting via index. As a result the actual plan executed is not the one specified by the SQL_BIG_RESULT hint. Similarly, there is no such test when executing EXPLAIN, resulting in incorrect output. The patch corrects the problem by testing for SQL_BIG_RESULT both during the explain and execution phases.
