Title: left join on index with multiple matches now works (bug #5391)

This closes on: https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/5391
By providing all the matches when doing left join on index, both in the case of single index and multi-index. It also preserves the index order of the calling (left) DataFrame (as it used to), though when there are multiple matches the indices repeat and the index loses integrity.

The added test cases should be self-explanatory.

Thank you,
