Bug #25508 Federated: Failure to Remove Partitioning

Description:
On a remote computer, I create a table with partitioning.
On a local computer, I create a matching federated table, with partitioning.
On the local computer, I try to remove the partitioning.
I get an error message: "Table storage engine doesn't have this option".
But it should have this option. It allowed me to create with partitioning.

How to repeat:
On the remote computer, say:
create table t100 (s1 char(5) character set utf8, primary key (s1,s2), s2 int)
  partition by list (s2) (partition p1 values in (1,2,3),partition p2 values in (4,5,6));

On the local computer, say:

create table t100 (s1 char(5) character set utf8, primary key (s1,s2), s2 int)
  ENGINE=FEDERATED
  CONNECTION='mysql://Remote@192.168.1.106/test/t100'
  partition by list (s2) (partition p1 values in (1,2,3),partition p2 values in (4,5,6));
  /* Change User and Host to what's appropriate for you. */

On the local computer, say:
  ALTER TABLE t100 REMOVE PARTITIONING;

The error message will be:
  ERROR 1031 Table storage engine for 't100` doesn't have this option.

Thank you for the bug report.
