The original code was there to favor index search over table scan.
This is not needed anymore as the cost calculations for table scans
and index lookups are now more exact.
Tests with checking metadata or that cannot be run with
the view-protocol are excluded from --view-protocol.
For tests that do not allow the use of an additional connection,
the util connection is disabled with "--disable_service_connection".
Also cases with bugs for --view-protocol are disabled.
This essentially reverts commit 4e89ec6692
and only disables InnoDB persistent statistics for tests where it is
desirable. By design, InnoDB persistent statistics will not be updated
except by ANALYZE TABLE or by STATS_AUTO_RECALC.
The internal transactions that update persistent InnoDB statistics
in background tasks (with innodb_stats_auto_recalc=ON) may cause
nondeterministic query plans or interfere with some tests that deal
with other InnoDB internals, such as the purge of transaction history.
