Fix the ".check" command of the command-line shell to return 1 (error) rather than 2 (exit) on a test failure. (check-in: e2af0cc6ef user: drh tags: trunk)

In the query planner, do not consider index X to be a proper subset of index Y if X is a covering index but Y is not. (check-in: ee31c04353 user: drh tags: trunk)
