Backporting from 5.0

  Fix bug #12410 : InnoDB was too permissive with LOCK TABLE ... READ LOCAL, and alowed new inserts to the table; we now make READ LOCAL equivalent to READ for InnoDB; note that this will cause slightly more locking in mysqldump, but makes the InnoDB table dumps consistent with MyISAM table dumps; note that the real code change patch was accidentally pushed with my another patch 5 minutes ago

  Fix bug #12852 : do not increment the open handle count to a table if the table does not have an .ibd file and InnoDB decides to return an error from the ::open() function; then the table can be dropped even if the user has tried to open it

Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() and create_tmp_field_from_item()
was converting string field to blob depending on byte-wise length instead of
character length, which results in converting valid varchar string with
length == 86 to longtext.

Made that functions above take into account max width of character when
converting string fields to blobs.

Skipping deleted records instead of breaking the loop
during checksum calculation.

Handle temporary tables like permanent tables: If the storage engine
cannot truncate, delete instead.

Supplied the default database name for ALTER TABLE ... RENAME 
for the new table instead of the old tables db like we do for 
other ALTERs.

Changed end-space comparison so that the key is not used past
its end. This is due to the new end-space behaviour in 4.1.
