Dmitry Lenev 1fbdf160b4 Patch that addresses bug #53976 "ALTER TABLE RENAME ...

is allowed on views (not documented, broken)".

Remove support of ALTER TABLE RENAME for views as:
a) this feature was not documented,
c) does not add any compatibility with other databases,
b) its implementation doesn't follow metadata locking
   protocol by accessing .FRM without holding any
   metadata lock,
c) its implementation complicates ALTER TABLE's code
   by introducing  yet another separate branch to it.

After this patch one can rename a view by using the
documented way - RENAME TABLE statement.
