MDEV-20704 changed the rules of how (HA_BINARY_PACK_KEY |
HA_VAR_LENGTH_KEY) flags are added. Older FRMs before that fix had
these flags for DOUBLE index. After that fix when ALTER sees such old
FRM it thinks it cannot do instant alter because of failed
compare_keys_but_name(): it compares flags against tmp table created
by ALTER.
MDEV-20704 fix was actually not about DOUBLE type but about
FIELDFLAG_BLOB which affected DOUBLE. So there is no direct knowledge
that any other types were not affected.
The proposed fix under CHECK TABLE checks if FRM has
(HA_BINARY_PACK_KEY | HA_VAR_LENGTH_KEY) flags and was created prior
MDEV-20704 and if so issues "needs upgrade". When mysqlcheck and
mysql_upgrade see such status they issue ALTER TABLE FORCE and upgrade
the table to the version of server.
