Bug #26257 New Federated Server Functionality Doesn't support differently named tables

Description:
When creating a federated table with the new server syntax:

create table t1 (a int(10)) ENGINE=FEDERATED CONNECTION="myserver";

You do not have the ability to have a differently named table locally
 (federated) than on the foreign data source as you did with:

create table t1 (a int(1)) ENGINE=FEDERATED CONNECTION="mysql://root@localhost/test/t2"

How to repeat:
steps above in description

  BUG #26257
      
      New Federated Server Functionality Doesn't support differently named tables
      
      * Added method tmp_clone_server to allocate a new server to use for 
        get_server_by_name when creating a federated table
      
      * Now using MEM_ROOT allocation (mark and sweep) to account for meta 
        data parameters being allocated properly, particularly with regards to
        SERVER object. Also cleans up code allocating share.
      * Added the ability to specify connection name _AND_ tablename per review
        of first attempt patch from Brian Aker
  
  This patch was possible with code from Antony Curtis. All code has been 
  run with --valgrind flag and passed.

  Post-review fixes.

Ugh! Ignore the previous cset.
I was confused and did the wrong thing in the wrong repository due to a misnamed local repository directory name.
(however, some of it was good - like the removal of the gratutious renames in the test case. I will have to make a new cset to reflect this.)

Reviewed by Brian.

Added new comment at start of sql/sql_servers.cc: Brian would like to replace the implicit table flushing with a general callback mechanism at some future time. When it is done, it will not be significantly different behaviour than what users will now experience with the flushing mechanism.

pushed to 5.1-engines repository

Pushed into 5.1.18-beta

Noted in 5.1.18 changelog.

The FEDERATED engine did not allow the local and remote tables to
have different names.
