MDEV-5271 Support engine-defined attributes per partition
Make it possible to specify engine-defined attributes on partitions as well as tables. If an engine-defined attribute is only specified at the table level, it applies to all the partitions in the table. This is a backward-compatible behavior. If the same attribute is specified both at the table level and the partition level, the per-partition one takes precedence. So, we can consider per-table attributes as default values. One cannot specify engine-defined attributes on subpartitions. Implementation details: * We store per-partition attributes in the partition_element class because we already have the part_comment field, which is for per-partition comments. * In the case of ALTER TABLE statements, the partition_elements in table->part_info is set up by mysql_unpack_partition(). So, we parse per-partition attributes after the call of the function.
