Description:
Background innformation provided by Facebook:
Run analyze table in innodb.innodb_mysql test before running explain select.

Use case:

We see occasional test flakiness during the test:

       # Masking (#) number in "rows" column of the following EXPLAIN output, as it may vary (bug#47746).
       EXPLAIN SELECT DISTINCT t1.name, t1.dept FROM t1 WHERE t1.name='rs5';
       id     select_type     table   partitions      type    possible_keys   key     key_len ref     rows    filtered        Extra
      -1      SIMPLE  t1      NULL    ref     name    name    82      const   #       100.00  Using where; Using index
      +1      SIMPLE  t1      NULL    range   name    name    164     NULL    #       100.00  Using where; Using index for group-by

Adding analyze table to the test before running the explain seems to allow the test to run more consistently.

The innodb.innodb_mysql test case was updated to avoid nondeterminism
of output row order. Thanks to Facebook for the contribution.
