Description:
In function mysql_prepare_create_table() in file sql_table.cc , the way to regard an index as unique is incorrect, we need to check against the HA_NOSAME flag, as my attached patch shows.

This bug right now doesn't break anything, because the only place its computed 'unique_key' is used is a few lines below of the same function, but since HA_REQUIRE_PRIMARY_KEY is never set to a TABLE object's flag, that piece of code is never executed, so although the value of the variable 'unique_key' is wrong, no existing functionality is affected by it.

But it's still good practice to make things right, hence this patch.

How to repeat:
see above

Suggested fix:
see above and see my patch.
