mysql.help_topic not found error

[max-hoffman]

A user hit this error:

error=table not found: help_topic, query=SELECT name FROM mysql.help_topic WHERE name LIKE "SHOW %"}

The most I could find in the MySQL docs is this. MariaDB docs have a bit more info.

This looks like it should be a pretty easy one for us to fill in. MySQL even provides a script to populate the data. The only potentially tricky part is that this is in the mysql database, and we manipulate that database a little differently than info_schema. I'll dig into this a little more and give another update this afternoon.

Resolving this one now that Dolt 1.7.5 is released and includes the mysql.help_ tables. Note that these tables aren't populated yet, but that seems to also be true in many MySQL versions. This change does resolve the table not found error above though.
