istruewing@stella.local 30b409bd6f Bug#4692 - DISABLE/ENABLE KEYS waste a space ...

Disabling and enabling indexes on a non-empty table grows the
index file.

Disabling indexes just sets a flag per non-unique index and does not
free the index blocks of the affected indexes. Re-enabling indexes
creates new indexes with new blocks. The old blocks remain unused
in the index file.

Fixed by dropping and re-creating all indexes if non-empty disabled
indexes exist when enabling indexes. Dropping all indexes resets
the internal end-of-file marker to the end of the index file header.
It also clears the root block pointers of every index and clears the
deleted blocks chains. This way all blocks are declared as free.
