message:
  A fix and a test case for Bug#46610 "MySQL 5.4.4: MyISAM MRG engine crash
  on auto-repair of child".
  Also fixes Bug#42862 "Crash on failed attempt to open a children of a
  merge table".

  MERGE engine needs to extend the global table list
  with TABLE_LIST elements for child tables,
  so that they are opened and locked.
  Previously these table list elements were allocated
  in memory of ha_myisammrg object (MERGE engine handler).
  That would lead to access to freed memory in
  recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(), which would
  try to recover a MERGE table child (MyISAM table)
  and use for that TABLE_LIST of that child.
  But by the time recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt()
  is invoked, ha_myisammrg object that owns this
  TABLE_LIST may be destroyed, and thus TABLE_LIST
  memory freed.

  The fix is to ensure that TABLE_LIST elements
  that are added to the global table list (lex->query_tables)
  are always allocated in thd->mem_root, which is not
  destroyed until end of execution.

  If previously TABLE_LIST elements were allocated
  at ha_myisammrg::open() (i.e. when the TABLE
  object was created and added to the table cache),
  now they are allocated in ha_myisammrg::add_chidlren_list()
  (i.e. right after "open" of the merge parent in
  open_tables()).
  We still create a list of children names
  at ha_myisammrg::open() to use as a basis
  for creation of TABLE_LISTs, that allows
  to avoid reading the merge handler data
  file on every execution.
