MDEV-16849 Extending indexed VARCHAR column should be instantaneous

Browse Source 
Analysis:
========
Increasing the length of the indexed varchar column is not an instant operation for
innodb.

Fix:
===
- Introduce the new handler flag 'Alter_inplace_info::ALTER_COLUMN_INDEX_LENGTH' to
indicate the index length differs due to change of column length changes.

- InnoDB makes the ALTER_COLUMN_INDEX_LENGTH flag as instant operation.

This is a port of Mysql fix.
