REBUILD PARTITION under LOCK TABLE
Collapsed patch including updates from the reviews.
In case of failure in ALTER ... PARTITION under LOCK TABLE
the server could crash, due to it had modified the locked
table object, which was not reverted in case of failure,
resulting in a bad table definition used after the failed
command.
Solved by instead of altering the locked table object and
its partition_info struct, creating an internal temporary
intermediate table object used for altering,
just like the non partitioned mysql_alter_table.
So if an error occur before the alter operation is complete,
the original table is not modified at all.
But if the alter operation have succeeded so far that it
must be completed as whole,
the table is properly closed and reopened.
(The completion on failure is done by the ddl_log.)
Bug#56657: Test still uses "--exec rm -f ..." which is non-portable
Bug#56601: Test uses Unix path for temporary file, fails, and writes misleading message
Several tests that was written in a non portable way (failed on windows)
Fixed by
1) backporting the fix for replace_result to also apply to list_files
(mysqltest from mysql-trunk)
2) replacing all #p#/#sp#/#tmp# to #P#/#SP#/#TMP#/
(innodb always converts filenames to lower case in windows).
3) replacing '--exec rm -f' with '--remove_files_wildcard'
4) replacing a perl snippet with '--write_file'
corruption on ADD PARTITION and LOCK TABLE

LOAD DATA after timed out COALESCE PARTITION
5.5 fix for:
Bug#51042: REORGANIZE PARTITION can leave table in an
inconsistent state in case of crash
Needs to be back-ported to 5.1
5.5 fix for:
Bug#50418: DROP PARTITION does not interact with
transactions
Main problem was non-persistent operations done
before meta-data lock was taken (53770+53676).
And 53676 needed to keep the table/partitions opened and locked
while copying the data to the new partitions.
Also added thorough tests to spot some additional bugs
in the ddl_log code, which could result in bad state
between the .frm and partitions.
Collapsed patch, includes all fixes required from the reviewers.
