  Search after a key that starts with 'field'

  SYNOPSIS
    find_ref_key()
    key			First key to check
    key_count		How many keys to check
    record		Start of record
    field		Field to search after
    key_length		On partial match, contains length of fields before
			field
    keypart             key part # of a field

  NOTES
   Used when calculating key for NEXT_NUMBER

  IMPLEMENTATION
    If no key starts with field test if field is part of some key. If we find
    one, then return first key and set key_length to the number of bytes
    preceding 'field'.

  RETURN
   -1  field is not part of the key
   #   Key part for key matching key.
       key_length is set to length of key before (not including) field

  This method is set-up such that it can be called directly from the

  sort in various places in the code.

  We retrieve the pointer to table->record[0] using the fact that key_parts
  have an offset making it possible to calculate the start of the record.
  We need to get the diff to the compared record since none of the records
  being compared are stored in table->record[0].

  We first check for NULL values, if there are no NULL values we use
  a compare method that gets two field pointers and a max length
  and return the result of the comparison.

  primary key) it must compare more than one index.
