      Description

      The patch for MDEV-6105 made this script

      SET NAMES utf8;
      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(10) CHARACTER SET utf8, KEY(a)) ENGINE=MyISAM;
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('a'),('b'),('c'),('d'),('e');
      EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a='😎';
      

      correct;y return "Impossible WHERE":

      +------+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+
      | id   | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref  | rows | Extra                                               |
      +------+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+
      |    1 | SIMPLE      | NULL  | NULL | NULL          | NULL | NULL    | NULL | NULL | Impossible WHERE noticed after reading const tables |
      +------+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+
      

      However, if I use <=> instead of =, it still switches to full table scan.

      It should be fixed to return "Impossible WHERE" for <=>.
