The MySQL backend on Django 1.8 through 1.10 has a heavy-handed
workaround for some of its SQL generation around indexes. It tries to
disable setting indexes on a ForeignKey, leaving that up to MySQL
itself, by setting db_index = False. It claims this is "temporary,"
but it never restores the values. This impacts signatures of these
fields on these versions of Django (and breaks unit tests).

This patch preserves the list of fields that would have their values
reset and then restores db_index on each of them, allowing Django to
continue to avoid those indexes without breaking any future usage of
the flags on these fields.

MySQL unit tests pass on all supported versions of Django.
