In ::position() federated needs to know an element before the
current ("data_cursor") in the single-linked list. Replace list
traversal for every ::position() call (which is O(n^2)) with remembering
the current element before it's advanced by mysql_fetch_row().

Federated uses SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE for ::info().
For nonexisting remote table it doesn't fail, but returns an empty result set.
We need to fake the error in the handler.
