In select_describe(), make the String object that holds the value of 
"partitions" column to "own" the value buffer, so the buffer isn't
prematurely freed.
[this is the second attempt with review fixes]

(for example, such objects can be returned from get_mm_parts() for "string_field = int_val).
Make find_used_partitions_imerge() to handle such SEL_TREE objects.

New prototype for get_auto_increment() (but new arguments not yet used), to be able
to reserve a finite interval of auto_increment values from cooperating engines.
A hint on how many values to reserve is found in handler::estimation_rows_to_insert,
filled by ha_start_bulk_insert(), new wrapper around start_bulk_insert().
NOTE: this patch changes nothing, for all engines. But it makes the API ready for those
engines which will want to do reservation.
More csets will come to complete WL#3146.

If the first part was SHOW and second part SELECT, it would have
thought that the command was SELECT, although the first part of
it was SHOW. It would then fail later.

Thus we need to set thd->lex to old_lex (first part) here before going
in to prepare_security().

- remove error set for auto partitioned tables

  Dont be too aggressive in Dbtc::nodeFailCheckTransaction
  let it timeout by 1, so that it does not assert that it has waited too long
  old impl. set timeotu value to 0, making timeout = (ctcTimer - 0) which could be quite big.
