message:
  WL#3726, review fixes.
  Now that we have metadata locks, we don't need to keep a crippled
  TABLE instance in the table cache to indicate that a table is locked.
  Remove all code that used this technique. Instead, rely on metadata
  locks and use the standard open_table() and close_thread_table()
  to manipulate with the table cache tables.
  Removes a list of functions that have become unused (see the comment
  for sql_base.cc for details).
  Under LOCK TABLES, keep a TABLE_LIST instance for each table
  that may be temporarily closed. For that, implement an own class for
  LOCK TABLES mode, Locked_tables_list.

This is a pre-requisite patch for WL#4144.
This is not exactly a backport: there is no new 
online ALTER table in Celosia, so the old alter table
code was changed to work with the new table cache API.
