How to repeat:

      Bug#44151 using handler commands on information_schema tables crashes server
      information schema tables are based on internal tmp tables which are removed
      after each statement execution. So HANDLER comands can not be used with
      information schema.
      The fix is to issue an error if HANDLER command is used with I_S.
     @ mysql-test/r/handler.result
        test result
     @ mysql-test/t/handler.test
        test case
     @ sql/sql_handler.cc

        after each statement execution. So HANDLER comands can not be used with

Noted in 5.0.82, 5.1.35, 6.0.12.

Use of HANDLER statements with INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables caused a
server crash. Now HANDLER is prohibited with such tables.
