Description:
When using mysqlcheck to check tables, if an innodb table's frm file is cleared (all data removed but file still exists) mysqlcheck will not report on the entire database the table is contained in.  CHECK TABLES  correctly identifies the table corruption

How to repeat:
Create a table with InnoDB engine.   Open the tables frm file in a text editor and delete the contents and save.  Run mysqlcheck against the database.

      Fix for bug#37527: mysqlcheck fails to report entire database 
      when InnoDB frm file corruption
      
      Problem: mysqlcheck runs 'SHOW FULL TABLE' queries to get table lists.
      The query may fail for some reasons (e.g. null .frm file) then
      mysqlcheck doesn't process the database tables.
      
      Fix: try to run 'SHOW TABLES' if 'SHOW FULL TABLES' failed.

Noted in 5.0.74 changelog.

mysqlcheck used SHOW FULL TABLES to get the list of tables in a
database. For some problems, such as an empty .frm file for a table,
this would fail and mysqlcheck then would neglect to check other
tables in the database.

Resetting report to NDI pending push in 5.1.x, 6.0.x.
