and clarifies the invariant in dict_table_get_on_id().
      
In Mar 2007 Marko observed a crash during recovery, the crash resulted from
an UNDO operation on a system table. His solution was to acquire an X lock on
the data dictionary, this in hindsight was an overkill. It is unclear what
caused the crash, current hypothesis is that it was a memory corruption.
      
The X lock results in performance issues by when undoing changes due to
rollback during normal operation on regular tables.
      
Why the change is safe:
======================
The InnoDB code has changed since the original X lock change was made. In the
new code we always lock the data dictionary in X mode during startup when
UNDOing operations on the system tables (this is a given). This ensures that
the crash Marko observed cannot happen as long as all transactions that update
the system tables follow the standard rules by setting the appropriate DICT_OP
flag when writing the log records when they make the changes.
      
If transactions violate the above mentioned rule then during recovery (at
startup) the rollback code (see trx0roll.c) will not acquire the X lock
and we will see the crash again.  This will however be a different bug.

ha_innobase::create(): Add the local variable row_type = form->s->row_type.
Adjust it to ROW_TYPE_COMPRESSED when ROW_FORMAT is not specified or inherited
but KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is. Observe the inherited ROW_FORMAT even when it is not
explicitly specified.

when renaming tables

Allocate the table name using ut_malloc() instead of table->heap because
the latter cannot be freed.

Adjust dict_sys->size calculations all over the code.

Change dict_table_t::name from const char* to char* because we need to
ut_malloc()/ut_free() it.

Valgrind warning happpens because of uninitialized null bytes.
In row_sel_push_cache_row_for_mysql() function we fill fetch cache
with necessary field values, row_sel_store_mysql_rec() is called
for this and leaves null bytes untouched.
Later row_sel_pop_cached_row_for_mysql() rewrites table record
buffer with uninited null bytes. We can see the problem from the
test case:
At 'SELECT...' we call row_sel_push...->row_sel_store...->row_sel_pop_cached...
chain which rewrites table->record[0] buffer with uninitialized null bytes.
When we call 'UPDATE...' statement, compare_record uses this buffer and
valgrind warning occurs.
The fix is to init null bytes with default values.
