message:
  WL#4284 "Transactional DDL locking"
  A review fix.
  Since WL#4284 implementation separated MDL_request and MDL_ticket,
  MDL_request becamse a utility object necessary only to get a ticket.
  Store it by-value in TABLE_LIST with the intent to merge
  MDL_request::key with table_list->table_name and table_list->db
  in future.
  Change the MDL subsystem to not require MDL_requests to
  stay around till close_thread_tables().
  Remove the list of requests from the MDL context.
  Requests for shared metadata locks acquired in open_tables()
  are only used as a list in recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
  which calls mdl_context.wait_for_locks() for this list.
  To keep such list for recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
  introduce a context class (Open_table_context), that collects
  all requests.
  A lot of minor cleanups and simplications that became possible
  with this change.
