Before commit 6112853cda in MySQL 4.1.1
introduced the parameter innodb_file_per_table, all InnoDB data was
written to the InnoDB system tablespace (often named ibdata1).
A serious design problem is that once the system tablespace has grown to
some size, it cannot shrink even if the data inside it has been deleted.
There are also other design problems, such as the server hang MDEV-29930
that should only be possible when using innodb_file_per_table=0 and
innodb_undo_tablespaces=0 (storing both tables and undo logs in the
InnoDB system tablespace).
The parameter innodb_change_buffering was deprecated
in commit b5852ffbee.
Starting with commit baf276e6d4
(MDEV-19229) the number of innodb_undo_tablespaces can be increased,
so that the undo logs can be moved out of the system tablespace
of an existing installation.
If all these things (tables, undo logs, and the change buffer) are
removed from the InnoDB system tablespace, the only variable-size
data structure inside it is the InnoDB data dictionary.
DDL operations on .ibd files was optimized in
commit 86dc7b4d4c (MDEV-24626).
That should have removed any thinkable performance advantage of
using innodb_file_per_table=0.
Since there should be no benefit of setting innodb_file_per_table=0,
the parameter should be deprecated. Starting with MySQL 5.6 and
MariaDB Server 10.0, the default value is innodb_file_per_table=1.
This is a 10.3 specific part of MDEV-13049.
It disables automatic sorting for
"SELECT .. FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.{SCHEMATA|TABLES}"
and adjusts the affected tests accordingly.
The following options will be removed:
innodb_file_format
innodb_file_format_check
innodb_file_format_max
innodb_large_prefix
They have been deprecated in MySQL 5.7.7 (and MariaDB 10.2.2) in WL#7703.
The file_format column in two INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables will be removed:
innodb_sys_tablespaces
innodb_sys_tables
Code to update the file format tag at the end of page 0:5
(TRX_SYS_PAGE in the InnoDB system tablespace) will be removed.
When initializing a new database, the bytes will remain 0.
All references to the Barracuda file format will be removed.
Some references to the Antelope file format (meaning
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT or ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT) will remain.
This basically ports WL#7704 from MySQL 8.0.0 to MariaDB 10.3.1:

When MySQL 5.7.9 (and MariaDB Server 10.2) introduced
innodb_default_row_format and made ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC the default,
it became possible to create any ROW_FORMAT tables in the InnoDB
system tablespace, except ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED.
In MySQL 5.7, it is possible to create ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
tables when TABLESPACE=innodb_system is explicitly specified.
Because MariaDB Server 10.2 does not support the MySQL 5.7
TABLESPACE=innodb_system attribute for tables, we should allow
ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC when innodb_file_per_table=0.
Also, remove the test innodb_zip.innodb-create-options, which was
an outdated copy of innodb_zip.create_options.

MDEV-10547: Test multi_update_innodb fails with InnoDB 5.7
The failure happened because 5.7 has changed the signature of
the bool handler::primary_key_is_clustered() const
virtual function ("const" was added). InnoDB was using the old
signature which caused the function not to be used.
MDEV-10550: Parallel replication lock waits/deadlock handling does not work with InnoDB 5.7
Fixed mutexing problem on lock_trx_handle_wait. Note that
rpl_parallel and rpl_optimistic_parallel tests still
fail.
MDEV-10156 : Group commit tests fail on 10.2 InnoDB (branch bb-10.2-jan)

MDEV-10550: Parallel replication can't sync with master in InnoDB 5.7 (branch bb-10.2-jan)
Reason: incorrect merge
Fix :
-------
Created separate suites called innodb_zip ans i_innodb_zip that contain all compression tests.
Running the new suites with following compression-related parameters :
* innodb_compression_level = {1/9}
* innodb_log_compressed_pages = {ON/OFF}
