This bug in Field_string::cmp resulted in a wrong comparison 
with keys in partial indexes over multi-byte character fields.
Given field a is declared as a varchar(16) collate utf8_unicode_ci
INDEX(a(4)) gives us an example of such an index.
  
Wrong key comparisons could lead to wrong result sets if 
the selected query execution plan used a range scan by 
a partial index over a utf8 character field.
This also caused wrong results in many other cases.

              tables
Currently in INSERT ... SELECT ... LIMIT ... the compiler uses a 
temporary table to store the results of SELECT ... LIMIT .. and then
uses that table as a source for INSERT. The problem is that in some cases
it actually skips the LIMIT clause in doing that and materializes the 
whole SELECT result set regardless of the LIMIT.
This fix is limiting the process of filling up the temp table with only 
that much rows that will be actually used by propagating the LIMIT value.

Certain updates of table joined to self results in unexpected
behavior.

The problem was that record cache was mistakenly enabled for
self-joined table updates. Normally record cache must be disabled
for such updates.

Fixed wrong condition in code that determines whether to use
record cache for self-joined table updates.

Only MyISAM tables were affected.
