MDEV-26870 --skip-symbolic-links does not disallow .isl file creation
The InnoDB DATA DIRECTORY attribute is not implemented via symbolic links but something similar, *.isl files that contain the names of data files. InnoDB failed to ignore the DATA DIRECTORY attribute even though the server was started with --skip-symbolic-links. Native ALTER TABLE in InnoDB will retain the DATA DIRECTORY attribute of the table, no matter if the table will be rebuilt or not. Generic ALTER TABLE (with ALGORITHM=COPY) as well as TRUNCATE TABLE will discard the DATA DIRECTORY attribute. All tests have been run with and without the ./mtr option --mysqld=--skip-symbolic-links and some tests that use the InnoDB DATA DIRECTORY attribute have been adjusted for this.
