Description:
Windows 7 SP1 64bit, MySQL 5.7.12, InnoDB database, lower_case_table_names=2

Adding partition using ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION statement to table with mixed case i.e. `CammelCaseTable` renames the table to lowercase i.e. `cammelcasetable`.

The table definition .frm file is renamed to lowercase on the filesystem as well.

The lower_case_table_names=2 setting is ignored.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE `CammelCaseTable` (
  `Id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `TStamp` datetime NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`Id`,`TStamp`)
) PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS(`TStamp`) (PARTITION `p20160601` VALUES LESS THAN ('2016-06-01'));

ALTER TABLE `CammelCaseTable` ADD PARTITION (PARTITION `p20160602` VALUES LESS THAN ('2016-06-02'));

Now `CammelCaseTable`is renamed to `cammelcasetable`.

Suggested fix:
Respect the lower_case_table_names=2 setting on ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION.
