Comment:

 In [changeset:"41818"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41818"
 Database: Fix a test failing on MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB 10.2.

 On newer versions of MySQL, an error was being thrown when creating a
 table with an index that we wanted to be silently truncated.

 To avoid this, the test now tries to use a newer InnoDB file format where
 available, and skips the test when that happens.

 Props pento, danielbachhuber, straussd.
 Fixes #41716.
