Excellent.

I just added a new table with all objects into
https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5359
indicating which objects support/miss the features.
Please have a look.


After finishing with DATABASE, I'd suggest to make
"DROP IF EXISTS" work for the remaining two object
types: USER and ROLE, so we have "DROP IF EXISTS"
working in all contexts.

Then implement "CREATE OR REPLACE" and "CREATE IF NOT EXISTS"
for the objects missing these features.

Note, "CREATE IF NOT EXISTS" is more important than "CREATE OR REPLACE".

Looks fine from a glance. Please send the current patch.

Thanks.
