Fix for bug MDEV-765 (LP:825075)

Analys:
The cause for the wrong result was that the optimizer
incorrectly chose min/max loose scan when it is not
applicable. The applicability test missed the case when
a condition on the MIN/MAX argument was OR-ed with a
condition on some other field. In this case, the MIN/MAX
condition cannot be used for loose scan.

Solution:
Extend the test check_group_min_max_predicates() to check
that the WHERE clause is of the form: "cond1 AND cond2"
where 
  cond1 - does not use min_max_column at all.
  cond2 - is an AND/OR tree with leaves in form "min_max_column $CMP$ const"
          or $CMP$ is one of the functions between, is [not] null

   SYNOPSIS
     check_group_min_max_predicates()
-    cond              tree (or subtree) describing all or part of the WHERE
-                      clause being analyzed
-    min_max_arg_item  the field referenced by the MIN/MAX function(s)
-    min_max_arg_part  the keypart of the MIN/MAX argument if any
+    cond        [in]  the expression tree being analyzed
+    min_max_arg [in]  the field referenced by the MIN/MAX function(s)
+    image_type  [in]
+    has_min_max_arg [out] true if the subtree being analyzed references min_max_arg
+    has_other_arg   [out] true if the subtree being analyzed references a column
+                          other min_max_arg
 
   DESCRIPTION
     The function walks recursively over the cond tree representing a WHERE
     clause, and checks condition (SA3) - if a field is referenced by a MIN/MAX
     aggregate function, it is referenced only by one of the following
-    predicates: {=, !=, <, <=, >, >=, between, is null, is not null}.
+    predicates $FUNC$:
+    {=, !=, <, <=, >, >=, between, is [not] null, multiple equal}.
+    In addition the function checks that the WHERE condition is equivalent to
+    "cond1 AND cond2" where :
+    cond1 - does not use min_max_column at all.
+    cond2 - is an AND/OR tree with leaves in form
+    "$FUNC$(min_max_column[, const])".
 
   RETURN
     TRUE  if cond passes the test
