    MDEV-30453 Setting innodb_buffer_pool_filename to an empty string attempts to delete the data directory on shutdown
    
    Let us make innodb_buffer_pool_filename a read-only variable
    so that a malicious user cannot cause an important file to be
    deleted on InnoDB shutdown. An attempt to delete a directory
    will fail because it is not a regular file, but what if the
    variable pointed to (say) ibdata1, ib_logfile0 or some *.ibd file?
    
    It does not seem to make much sense for this parameter to be
    configurable in the first place, but we will not change that in order
    to avoid breaking compatibility.
