    MDEV-11426 Remove InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES implementation · 0b66d3f7

    MySQL 5.7 introduced WL#7943: InnoDB: Implement Information_Schema.Files
    to provide a long-term alternative for accessing tablespace metadata.
    The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_* views are considered internal interfaces
    that are subject to change or removal between releases. So, users should
    refer to I_S.FILES instead of I_S.INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES to fetch metadata
    about CREATE TABLESPACE.
    
    Because MariaDB 10.2 does not support CREATE TABLESPACE or
    CREATE TABLE…TABLESPACE for InnoDB, it does not make sense to support
    I_S.FILES either. So, let MariaDB 10.2 omit the code that was added in
    MySQL 5.7. After this change, I_S.FILES will report the empty result,
    unless some other storage engine in MariaDB 10.2 implements the interface.
    (The I_S.FILES interface was originally created for the NDB Cluster.)
