  WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects"

  After review fixes in progress.

  Moved code checking that current lock request can be satisfied
  given the current state of individual or global metadata lock
  to separate well-documented functions.

+   Check if request for the lock on particular object can be satisfied given
+   current state of the global metadata lock.
+
+   @note In other words, we're trying to check that the individual lock
+         request, implying a form of lock on the global metadata, is
+         compatible with the current state of the global metadata lock.
+
+   @param lock_data Request for lock on an individual object, implying a
+                    certain kind of global metadata lock.

+   @retval TRUE  - Lock request can be satisfied
+   @retval FALSE - There is some conflicting lock
+
+   Here is a compatibility matrix defined by this function:

+                   |             | for global metadata lock

+         "0" -- means impossible situation which will trigger assert
+

+        is no need to obtain such lock during the upgrade itself.
