Bug#47762: Incorrect result from MIN() when WHERE tests NOT

NULL column for NULL

The optimization to read MIN() and MAX() values from an
index did not properly handle comparisons with NULL
values. Fixed by giving up the particular optimization step
if there are non-NULL safe comparisons with NULL values, as 
the result is NULL anyway.
