Fixed an issue with indexing spatial datatype columns. (Bug #36682518)
Fixed an issue where creating a secondary index on a VARCHAR column could exceed configured memory limits, with the amount allocated being directly related to the value of innodb_ddl_buffer_size, leading to errors such as ERROR 1136 (21S01): Column count doesn't match value count at row 1.
