mysql: force _getNextTID() to use appropriate/whole index

Similarly to 13911ca3 on the same instance after MariaDB was upgraded to
10.1.17 the following query, even after `OPTIMIZE TABLE obj`, started to execute
very slowly:

    MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT tid FROM neo1.obj WHERE `partition`=5 AND oid=79613 AND tid>268707071353462798 ORDER BY tid LIMIT 1;
    +--------------------+
    | tid                |
    +--------------------+
    | 268707072758797063 |
    +--------------------+
    1 row in set (4.82 sec)

Both explain and analyze says the query will/is using `partition` key but only partially (note key_len is only 10, not 18):

By explicitly forcing (partition, oid, tid) index usage which is precisely designed to serve this and similar queries can avoid the query from being slow:

    MariaDB [(none)]> analyze SELECT tid FROM neo1.obj FORCE INDEX(`partition`) WHERE `partition`=5 AND oid=79613 AND tid>268707071353462798 ORDER BY tid LIMIT 1;
