The table option page_compression_level is something that only
affects future writes, not actually the data format. Therefore,
we can allow instant changes of this option.
Similarly, the table option page_compressed can be set on a
previously uncompressed table without rebuilding the table,
because an uncompressed page would be considered valid when
reading a page_compressed table.
Removing the page_compressed option will continue to require
the table to be rebuilt.
ha_innobase_inplace_ctx::page_compression_level: The requested
page_compression_level at the start of ALTER TABLE, or 0 if
page_compressed=OFF.
alter_options_need_rebuild(): Renamed from
create_option_need_rebuild(). Allow page_compression_level and
page_compressed to be changed as above, without rebuilding the table.
ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter(): Allow ALGORITHM=INSTANT
for ALTER_OPTIONS if the table is not to be rebuilt. If rebuild is
needed, set ha_alter_info->unsupported_reason.
innobase_page_compression_try(): Update SYS_TABLES.TYPE according
to the table flags, for an instant change of page_compression_level
or page_compressed.
commit_cache_norebuild(): Adjust dict_table_t::flags, fil_space_t::flags
and (if needed) FSP_SPACE_FLAGS if page_compression_level was specified.
innodb_file_format=Barracuda is the default in MariaDB 10.2.
Do not set it, because the option will be removed in MariaDB 10.3.
Also, do not set innodb_file_per_table=1 because it is the default.
Note that MDEV-11828 should fix the test innodb.innodb-64k
already in 10.1.

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)
Reason: incorrect merge
MDEV-10550: Parallel replication can't sync with master in InnoDB 5.7 (branch bb-10.2-jan)
Reason: incorrect merge
New generation hard drives, SSDs and NVM devices support 4K
sector size. Supported sector size can be found using fstatvfs()
or GetDiskFreeSpace() functions.
