  Fixed bug#14959: ALTER TABLE isn't able to rename a view
  
  The mysql_alter_table() was able to rename only a table.
  
  The view/table renaming code is moved from the function rename_tables 
  to the new function called do_rename().
  The mysql_alter_table() function calls it when it needs to rename a view.

      Bug#53409: Alter table can't rename a view with special characters
      Bug#14959
      Bug#52225
      
      Add missing test case for regular (non-NDB) server.
      We now try to handle database names with periods etc. correctly in ALTER.
     @ mysql-test/r/rename.result
        test
     @ mysql-test/t/rename.test
        test
