Description:
DROP TABLE does not drop triggers defined for the table.

How to repeat:
USE test;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 ( a int, b int );
CREATE TRIGGER tr1 BEFORE INSERT ON t1 FOR EACH ROW SET new.a=new.b;
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,2);
DROP TABLE t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 ( a int );
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1);
DROP TABLE t1;

Suggested fix:
Drop trigger definitions when table is dropped.

DROP DATABASE also fails to drop triggers, which causes
DROP DATABASE itself to fail with this error:

ERROR 1010 (HY000): Error dropping database
(can't rmdir './test/', errno: 17)

I suspect this is because sql_db.cc does not include ".TRG" in
its list of known extensions:

const char *known_exts[]=
{".ISM",".ISD",".ISM",".MRG",".MYI",".MYD",".db", ".ibd", NullS};

(By the way, it's also odd that ".ISM" is listed twice here? That's
true all the way back through 3.23...)
