Description:
The tests
   t/partition_02myisam.test
and
   ndb/t/partition_03ndb.test
and auxiliary scripts sourced by them are
- missing maintenance
  Some code sequencies are disabled because of
  old but now fixed Partitioning bugs.
- outdated
  The scripts above were a snapshot of an early stage
  of the partitioning test development and never
  intended for being part of the final 5.1 
  partitioning checks.
  The final partitioning testsuite is
  - stored within mysql-test/suite/parts
  - better (hopefully) maintained
  - covers everything checked within the tests above + more.
Therefore a removal of the scripts above does not decrease
coverage but save space and runtime.

How to repeat:
Compare the tests above with the
partitioning testsuite.

Suggested fix:
Remove the tests
   t/partition_02myisam.test
and
   ndb/t/partition_03ndb.test
and auxiliary scripts sourced by them.

  Fix for
     Bug#31610 Remove outdated and redundant tests:
               partition_02myisam partition_03ndb
  Modification: Remove
  - toplevel test scripts (extension 'test')
  - files with expected results (extension 'result')
  - auxiliary scripts (extension 'inc') which are used
    by these tests only
  
  Note:
  1. There is no loss in testing coverage because the
     final partitioning testsuite is already stored within
     mysql-test/suite/parts.
     The tests to be removed are only an early snapshot of
     this testsuite.
  2. The unusual way (bk mv ....; bk rm ...) to drop the files
     is caused by the fact the BK failed to create a changeset
     when I used "bk rm ..." only.
