MDEV-4133: Review InnoDB tablespace allocation patch by Toshikuni Fukaya. If innodb_use_posix_fallocate is set we use posix_fallocate call to extent tablespace allocation instead of pwrite.

modified:
  storage/connect/tabxml.h

            failed in TABLE_SHARE* tdc_acquire_share(THD*, const char*,
            const char*, const char*, uint, uint, TABLE**)

Removed false assertions.

When multiple threads acquire the same previously unused share,
only one thread shall remove share from unused list (the one that
has was_unused == true). Other threads will ignore this step and
may continue even if share is not yet removed from unused list.

Added partition_exchange test.

Do not set HA_OPTION_PACK_RECORD for InnoDB specific row formats
(e.g. COMPACT, REDUNDANT). Adjusted mysql_compare_tables() accordingly.

  information function. This solve the problem of uninitialised zone
  that was detected by valgrind.

Following variables do not require LOCK_open protection anymore:
- table_def_cache (renamed to tdc_hash) is protected by rw-lock
  LOCK_tdc_hash;
- table_def_shutdown_in_progress doesn't need LOCK_open protection;
- last_table_id use atomics;
- TABLE_SHARE::ref_count (renamed to TABLE_SHARE::tdc.ref_count)
  is protected by TABLE_SHARE::tdc.LOCK_table_share;
- TABLE_SHARE::next, ::prev (renamed to tdc.next and tdc.prev),
  oldest_unused_share, end_of_unused_share are protected by
  LOCK_unused_shares;
- TABLE_SHARE::m_flush_tickets (renamed to tdc.m_flush_tickets)
  is protected by TABLE_SHARE::tdc.LOCK_table_share;
- refresh_version (renamed to tdc_version) use atomics.

  when deleting one key of a INI table with layout=Row. The same happens
  for layout=column but this is normal as one line is one section.

Complete the merge of magne.mahre@oracle.com-20101102115354-vxcaxminmzglzalk
(WL#5185 Remove deprecated 5.1 features)

remove unused HA_READ_OUT_OF_SYNC

* use sql_mode_for_dates() where appropriate.
* always specify an argument for sql_mode_for_dates()
  (future-proof. easier to notice and fix if the caller
   will start using thd from a local variable or an argument)

- Fiw a bug making records_in_range sometimes return a negative
  value.

  storage/connect/xindex.cpp

remove unused HA_CAN_EXPORT
(with the merge of "FLUSH TABLE <table_list> FOR EXPORT",
this functionality should be added back, but differently -
no table flag, handler::extra() returns an error instead)

remove unused HA_BLOCK_CONST_TABLE

remove half-applied "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"

fix simple_rename_or_index_change() to reuse alter_table_manage_keys()

it's not nice when unconfigured gtid prevents SHOW VARIABLES from working

remove TDC_RT_REMOVE_NOT_OWN_AND_MARK_NOT_USABLE

use get_table_def_key() instead of create_table_def_key() where appropriate

  special columns are processed. This will be documented.
  Also some code cleanup and some changes to prepare the indexing of
  nullable columns (not achieve yet)

Made sure that innodb tables for persistent statistics would not
considered by the server as system tables.
