This essentially reverts commit 4e89ec6692
and only disables InnoDB persistent statistics for tests where it is
desirable. By design, InnoDB persistent statistics will not be updated
except by ANALYZE TABLE or by STATS_AUTO_RECALC.
The internal transactions that update persistent InnoDB statistics
in background tasks (with innodb_stats_auto_recalc=ON) may cause
nondeterministic query plans or interfere with some tests that deal
with other InnoDB internals, such as the purge of transaction history.
InnoDB should calculate the MBR for the first field of
spatial index and do the comparison with the clustered
index field MBR. Due to MDEV-25459 refactoring, InnoDB
calculate the length of the first field and fails with
too long column error.
