LOSS
ANALYSIS:
=========
When converting from a BLOB/TEXT type to a smaller
BLOB/TEXT type, no warning/error is reported to the user
informing about the truncation/data loss.
FIX:
====
We are now reporting a warning in non-strict mode and an
appropriate error in strict mode.

MDEV-8960: Can't refer the same column twice in one ALTER TABLE
Problem was that if column was created in alter table when
it was refered again it was not tried to find from list
of current columns.
mysql_prepare_alter_table:
There is two cases
(1) If alter table adds a new column and then later alter
changes the field definition, there was no check from
list of new columns, instead an incorrect error was given.
(2) If alter table adds a new column and then later alter
changes the default, there was no check from list of
new columns, instead an incorrect error was given.

SQL Standard behavior for DROP COLUMN xxx RESTRICT:
* If a constraint (UNIQUE or CHECK) uses only the dropped column,
it's automatically dropped too. If it uses many columns - an error.
mysql_prepare_create_table fixed so it doesn't let duplicating
constraint names. Syntax for CONSTRAINT IF NOT EXISTS added
and handled in mysql_alter_table.
MDEV-10134 Add full support for DEFAULT
- Added support for using tables with MySQL 5.7 virtual fields,
including MySQL 5.7 syntax
- Better error messages also for old cases
- CREATE ... SELECT now also updates timestamp columns
- Blob can now have default values
- Added new system variable "check_constraint_checks", to turn of
CHECK constraint checking if needed.
- Removed some engine independent tests in suite vcol to only test myisam
- Moved some tests from 'include' to 't'. Should some day be done for all tests.
- FRM version increased to 11 if one uses virtual fields or constraints
- Changed to use a bitmap to check if a field has got a value, instead of
setting HAS_EXPLICIT_VALUE bit in field flags
- Expressions can now be up to 65K in total
- Ensure we are not refering to uninitialized fields when handling virtual fields or defaults
- Changed check_vcol_func_processor() to return a bitmap of used types
- Had to change some functions that calculated cached value in fix_fields to do
this in val() or getdate() instead.
- store_now_in_TIME() now takes a THD argument
- fill_record() now updates default values
- Add a lookahead for NOT NULL, to be able to handle DEFAULT 1+1 NOT NULL
- Automatically generate a name for constraints that doesn't have a name
- Added support for ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT
- Ensure that partition functions register virtual fields used. This fixes
some bugs when using virtual fields in a partitioning function

PROBLEM
In 5.5 when doing doing a rename of a column ,we ignore the case between
old and new column names while comparing them,so if the change is just
the case then we don't even mark the field FIELD_IS_RENAMED ,we just update
the frm file ,but don't recreate the table as is the norm when alter is
used.This leads to inconsistency in the innodb data dictionary which causes
index creation to fail.
FIX
According to the documentation any innodb column rename should trigger
rebuild of the table. Therefore for innodb tables we will do a strcmp()
between the column names and if there is case change in column name
we will trigger a rebuild.
Patches for server and the Innodb engine.
Server is fixed so it does nothing if no indexes left to alter.
Innodb parser is fixed so it looks for the IF [NOT] EXISTS option in a string.
Another change is that it uses the index name for the internal dictionary.
Prior to that it only used the CONSTRAINT name for it.
