    Description of how DROP DATABASE works after this patch
    
    - Collect list of tables
    - DDL log tables as they are dropped
    - DDL log drop database
    - Delete db.opt
    - Delete data directory
    - Log either DROP TABLE or DROP DATABASE to binary log
    - De active ddl log entry
    
    This is in line of how things where before (minus ddl logging) except that
    we delete db.opt file last to not loose it if DROP DATABASE fails.
    
    On recovery we have to ensure that all dropped tables are logged in
    binary log and that they are properly dropped (as with atomic drop
    table).
    No new tables be dropped as part of recovery.
    
    Recovery of active drop database ddl log entry:
    
    - If drop database was logged to ddl log but was not found in the binary
      log:
      - drop the db.opt file and database directory.
      - Log DROP DATABASE to binary log
    - If drop database was not logged to ddl log
      - Update binary log with DROP TABLE of the dropped tables. If table list
        is longer than max_allowed_packet, then the query will be split into
        multiple DROP TABLE/VIEW queries.
    
    Other things:
    - Added DDL_LOG_STATE and 'current database' as arguments to
      mysql_rm_table_no_locks(). This was needed to be able to combine
      ddl logging of DROP DATABASE and DROP TABLE and make the generated
      DROP TABLE statements shorter.
    - To make the DROP TABLE statement created by ddl log shorter, I changed
      the binlogged query to use current directory and omit the directory
      part for all tables in the current directory.
    - Merged some DROP TABLE and DROP VIEW code in ddl logger.  This was done
      to be able get separate DROP VIEW and DROP TABLE statements in the binary
      log.
    - Added a 'recovery_state' variable to remember the state of dropped
      tables and views.
    - Moved out code that drops database objects (stored procedures) from
      mysql_rm_db_internal() to drop_database_objects() for better code reuse.
    - Made mysql_rm_db_internal() global so that could be used by the ddl
      recovery code.
