4. Fixed datadict_<engine>.result files after the change that added 2 columns to
the VIEWS table (DEFINER varchar(77), SECURITY_TYPE varchar(7)).

+-------------------
+Data dictionary tests:
+Fixes for Bugs 30418,30420,30438,30440
+1. Replace error numbers with error names
+2. Replace static "InnoDB" (not all time available) used within an
+ "alter table" by $OTHER_ENGINE_TYPE (set to MEMORY or MyISAM).
+ Minor adjustment of column data type.
+3. Use mysqltest result set sorting in several cases.
+4. Avoid any statistics about help tables, because their content
+ depends on configuration:
+ developer release - help tables are empty
+ build release - help tables have content + growing with version
+5. Add two help table related tests (one for build, one for developer)
+ to ensure that informations about help tables within
+ INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES/STATISTICS are checked.
+6. Note about new Bug#30689 at the beginning of the test.
+ The files with expected results contain incomplete result sets.
+7. Fix the NDB variant of the data dictionary test (ndb__datadict) as far as
+ it was necessary for the bug fixes mentioned above.
+
+
+General note:
+ Most INFORMATION_SCHEMA properties (table layout, permissions etc.)
+ are not affected by our variation of the storage engines except
+ that some properties of our tables using a specific storage
+ engine become visible. So it makes sense to decompose
+ the data dictionary test into a storage engine specific part and
+ a non storage engine specific part in future.
