Bug#40536: SELECT is blocked by INSERT DELAYED waiting on

           upgrading lock, even with low_priority_updates

The problem is that there is no mechanism to control whether a
delayed insert takes a high or low priority lock on a table.

The solution is to modify the delayed insert thread ("handler")
to take into account the global value of low_priority_updates
when taking table locks. The value of low_priority_updates is
retrieved when the insert delayed thread is created and will
remain the same for the duration of the thread.
