Reason for the change was that ha_notify_table_changed() was done
after table open when .frm had been replaced, which caused failure
in engines that checks on open if .frm matches the engines table
definition.
Other changes:
- Remove not needed open/close call at end of inline alter table.
Some test that depended on the table beeing in the table cache after
ALTER TABLE had to be updated.
Introduced new alter algorithm type called NOCOPY & INSTANT for
inplace alter operation.
NOCOPY - Algorithm refuses any alter operation that would
rebuild the clustered index. It is a subset of INPLACE algorithm.
INSTANT - Algorithm allow any alter operation that would
modify only meta data. It is a subset of NOCOPY algorithm.
Introduce new variable called alter_algorithm. The values are
DEFAULT(0), COPY(1), INPLACE(2), NOCOPY(3), INSTANT(4)
Message to deprecate old_alter_table variable and make it alias
for alter_algorithm variable.
alter_algorithm variable for slave is always set to default.
