my_readline can fail due to missing file. Make my_readline report this
condition separately so that we can catch it and report an appropriate
error message to the user.
TOCTOU bug. The path is checked to be valid, symlinks are resolved.
Then the resolved path is opened. Between the check and the open,
there's a window when one can replace some path component with a
symlink, bypassing validity checks.
Fix: after we resolved all symlinks in the path, don't allow open()
to resolve symlinks, there should be none.
Compared to the old MyISAM/Aria code:
* fastpath. Opening of not-symlinked files is just one open(),
no fn_format() and lstat() anymore.
* opening of symlinked tables doesn't do fn_format() and lstat() either.
it also doesn't to realpath() (which was lstat-ing every path
component), instead if opens every path component with O_PATH.
* share->data_file_name stores realpath(path) not readlink(path). So,
SHOW CREATE TABLE needs to do lstat/readlink() now (see ::info()),
and certain error messages (cannot open file "XXX") show the real
file path with all symlinks resolved.
