Bug #55617 Irrelevant error on attempt to override an existing view by CREATE IF NOT EXISTS

Description:
If a view v already exists and reads from a table t, and CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS v AS SELECT * FROM t is attempted, it fails with ER_VIEW_PREVENT_UPDATE. It does not seem reasonable with the new logic, since the insert is not going to happen anyway; also, it contradicts the WL#5370 spec:
<quote>
Init: CREATE an updatable view t1.
- verify that CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t1 ... SELECT
produces ER_TABLE_EXISTS_ERROR and otherwise has no effect
</quote>

It happens with old 5.5 and 5.1, but there it is understandable as it prevents the INSERT which would otherwise be executed; does not happen on 5.1-wl5370, INSERT is not done there now, although it might change (bug#55474 seems to be related).

How to repeat:
--disable_warnings
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t;
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS v;

CREATE TABLE t ( i INT );
CREATE VIEW v AS SELECT * FROM t;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS v AS SELECT * FROM t;

DROP TABLE t;
DROP VIEW v;

--exit

To add here-
- CREATE TABLE..SELECT should give ER_TABLE_EXISTS_ERROR.
- CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS..SELECT should produce the warning.

wl5370 spec. should also be corrected here as below-
Init: CREATE an updatable view t1.
- verify that CREATE TABLE t1 ... SELECT   --update here
produces ER_TABLE_EXISTS_ERROR and otherwise has no effect
- CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t1 ... SELECT
produces a warning and does not insert into the view.

      Bug#55617 Irrelevant error on attempt to override an existing view 
                by CREATE IF NOT EXISTS
      
      If a view v already exists and reads from a table t, and CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS v AS
      SELECT * FROM t is attempted, it fails with ER_VIEW_PREVENT_UPDATE. It is not
      reasonable with the new logic, since the insert is not going to happen anyway
      
      After this patch, ER_VIEW_PREVENT_UPDATE is replaced by ER_TABLE_EXISTS_ERROR.
     @ mysql-test/t/create.test
        After WL#5370, the statement just generates a warning that the table already exists
     @ mysql-test/t/merge.test
        After WL#5370, the error ER_UPDATE_TABLE_USED will never appear
        on 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' statement. So this test
        for bug#15522 is removed.
     @ mysql-test/t/union.test
        After WL#5370, the statement just generates a warning that the table already exists
     @ sql/sql_parse.cc
        After WL#5370, it doesn't need to check whether the creating table is
        appearing in SELECT clause. As the statement will end immediately with
        an error or a warning if it already exists.

      WL#5370 Keep forward-compatibility when changing 
              'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' behaviour
      BUG#47132, BUG#47442, BUG49494, BUG#23992 and BUG#48814 will disappear
      automatically after the this patch.
      BUG#55617 is fixed by this patch too.
            
      This is the 5.5 part.
      It implements:
      - 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' statement will not insert
        anything and binlog anything if the table already exists.
        It only generate a warning that table already exists.
      - A couple of test cases for the behavior changing.
