Attached is the CONSTR_PRIMARY switch block from command.c.  I've marked the
problem test with '@@'.

Basically the patch all seems to work properly, except that it doesn't
recognise existing primarty keys.  ie. You can go ALTER TABLE test ADD
PRIMARY KEY(a) multiple times and it will keep adding a primary key.  My ADD
UNIQUE patch that has been committed is virtually identical, and has no such
problem.
