Description:
The feature to recover a temporary table #sql_<id> in InnoDB by creating a table "rsql_<id>_recover_innodb_tmp_table" was broken by the introduction of the table name escaping in MySQL 5.1.

The feature is redundant, because you can recover such tables as follows.

How to repeat:
create table a(a int primary key)engine=innodb;
create index a on a(a); #or ALTER TABLE

# crash and restart mysqld before the ALTER TABLE completes
# look the data directory for a name @0023sql@002d..., i.e.,
# @0023sql@002d3c44_2.frm in this example

rename table `#sql-3c44_2` to a2;
# although the name is not shown by SHOW TABLES, MySQL finds it

Suggested fix:
Remove the check for "rsql_<id>_recover_innodb_tmp_table" in row_create_table_for_mysql() and document the procedure for recovering temporary tables.
