Description:
When inserting into a join view, one of the tables of the view is selected as the table for insertion.
But EXPLAIN will always show the first of these tables as the table being inserted into.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE t1(a INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE t2(b INTEGER);
CREATE VIEW v AS SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON TRUE;
EXPLAIN INSERT INTO v(b) SELECT 1;

Noted in 5.7.8, 5.8.0 changelogs.

EXPLAIN for INSERT ... SELECT statements into a multiple-table view
always displayed the first table of the view as the table being
inserted into, even if it was not.
