branches/5.1: When the InnoDB and MySQL data dictionaries go out of sync, before

the bug fix we would assert on missing autoinc columns. With this fix we allow
MySQL to open the table but set the next autoinc value for the column to the
MAX value. This effectively disables the next value generation. INSERTs will
fail with a generic AUTOINC failure. However, the user should be able to
read/dump the table, set the column values explicitly, use ALTER TABLE to
set the next autoinc value and/or sync the two data dictionaries to resume
normal operations.

Fix Bug#44030 Error: (1500) Couldn't read the MAX(ID) autoinc value from the
index (PRIMARY)
