- Add `as <int_type>` to sequence creation options
- int_type can be signed or unsigned integer types, including
tinyint, smallint, mediumint, int and bigint
- Limitation: when alter sequence as <new_int_type>, cannot have any
other alter options in the same statement
- Limitation: increment remains signed longlong, and the hidden
constraint (cache_size x abs(increment) < longlong_max) stays for
unsigned types. This means for bigint unsigned, neither
abs(increment) nor (cache_size x abs(increment)) can be between
longlong_max and ulonglong_max
- Truncating maxvalue and minvalue from user input to the nearest max
or min value of the type, plus or minus 1. When the truncation
happens, a warning is emitted

MDEV-33441 Do not deinit plugin variables when retry requested
After MDEV-31400, plugins are allowed to ask for retries when failing
initialisation. However, such failures also cause plugin system
variables to be deleted (plugin_variables_deinit()) before retrying
and are not re-added during retry.
We fix this by checking that if the plugin has requested a retry the
variables are not deleted. Because plugin_deinitialize() also calls
plugin_variables_deinit(), if the retry fails, the variables will
still be deleted.
Alternatives considered:
- remove the plugin_variables_deinit() from plugin_initialize() error
handling altogether. We decide to take a more conservative approach
here.
- re-add the system variables during retry. It is more complicated
than simply iterating over plugin->system_vars and call
my_hash_insert(). For example we will need to assign values to
the test_load field and extract more code from test_plugin_options(),
if that is possible.
