MDEV-15507 Assertion failed in dict_check_sys_tables on upgrade from 5.5
The InnoDB system table column SYS_TABLES.MIX_LEN was repurposed in InnoDB Plugin for MySQL 5.1, in commit 91111174 (MySQL 5.1.46). Until MySQL 5.6, it only contained a flag DICT_TF2_TEMPORARY. MySQL 5.6 introduced a number of flags that were transient in nature. One of these was introduced in 5.6.5, originally called DICT_TF2_USE_TABLESPACE and later renamed to DICT_TF2_USE_FILE_PER_TABLE. MySQL 5.7.6 introduced logic that insists that the flag be set for any table that does not reside in a shared tablespace, breaking upgrade from MySQL 5.5. MariaDB does not support shared tablespaces other than the InnoDB system tablespace. Also, some dependencies on SYS_TABLES.MIX_LEN were removed in an earlier fix: MDEV-13084 MariaDB 10.2 crashes on corrupted SYS_TABLES.MIX_LEN field (commit e813fe86). dict_check_sys_tables(): Remove a bogus debug assertion, and add a comment that explains how DICT_TF2_USE_FILE_PER_TABLE is used. dict_table_is_file_per_table(): Remove a bogus debug assertion.
