Fix for bug#22369: Alter table rename combined

with other alterations causes lost tables

Using RENAME clause combined with other clauses of ALTER TABLE led to
data loss (the data was there but not accessible). This could happen if the
changes do not change the table much. Adding and droppping of fields and
indices was safe. Renaming a column with MODIFY or CHANGE was unsafe operation,
if the actual column didn't change (changing from int to int, which is a noop)
  
Depending on the storage engine (SE) the behavior is different:
1)MyISAM/MEMORY - the ALTER TABLE statement completes
  without any error but next SELECT against the new table fails.
2)InnoDB (and every other transactional table) - The ALTER TABLE statement
  fails. There are the the following files in the db dir -
  `new_table_name.frm` and a temporary table's frm. If the SE is file
  based, then the data and index files will be present but with the old
  names. What happens is that for InnoDB the table is not renamed in the
  internal DDIC.

Fixed by adding additional call to mysql_rename_table() method, which should
not include FRM file rename, because it has been already done during file
names juggling.

  Added test case for #22369: Alter table rename combined
  with other alterations causes lost tables
mysql-test/t/grant.test:
  add test for bug#22369 - alter table was missing check
  for DROP_ACL when ALTER_RENAME clause is specified. Synchronise
  with RENAME TABLE DDL.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Add a new flag for mysql_rename_table()
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  To be consistent with SQLCOM_RENAME_TABLE, SQLCOM_ALTER_TABLE has
  to check for DROP_ACL if there is ALTER_RENAME flag set.
sql/sql_table.cc:
  ALTER_RENAME, the data and index files weren't renamed in the engine
  but only the FRM was new, when the tables old and new tables are compatible.
  In the chain of FRM renames we add a call to mysql_rename_table() which should
  instruct the engine to rename the table but not rename the FRM.
  This bug was there only in 5.1 branch. 4.1 and 5.0 always do copy data on RENAME
  if there are more clauses than just rename.

+  DESCRIPTION
+    This is a veery long function and is everything but the kitchen sink :)
+    It is used to alter a table and not only by ALTER TABLE but also
+    CREATE|DROP INDEX are mapped on this function.
+
+    When the ALTER TABLE statement just does a RENAME or ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS,
+    or both, then this function short cuts its operation by renaming
+    the table and/or enabling/disabling the keys. In this case, the FRM is
+    not changed, directly by mysql_alter_table. However, if there is a
+    RENAME + change of a field, or an index, the short cut is not used.
+    See how `fields` is used to generate the new FRM regarding the structure
+    of the fields. The same is done for the indices of the table.
+
+    Important is the fact, that this function tries to do as little work as
+    possible, by finding out whether a intermediate table is needed to copy
+    data into and when finishing the altering to use it as the original table.
+    For this reason the function compare_tables() is called, which decides
+    based on all kind of data how similar are the new and the original
+    tables. 
+
+  RETURN VALUES
+    FALSE  OK
+    TRUE   Error
