Bug #26598: Create variable to allow turning off of statistic gathering
on metadata commands

Add innodb_stats_on_metadata option, which enables gathering
index statistics when processing metadata commands such as
SHOW TABLE STATUS.  Default behavior of the server does not
change (this option is enabled by default).
