Added the allow_create_index_without_type setting that allows ADD INDEX queries without a specified TYPE to succeed without changing the table schema.

Why it matters

This feature solves the issue where standard SQL queries using ADD INDEX without a TYPE would fail. By allowing these queries to succeed without altering the schema, it improves compatibility and prevents errors during schema changes initiated by such queries.

How to use it

Enable the feature by setting allow_create_index_without_type to true in your session or server settings. After enabling, ADD INDEX queries without a TYPE will complete successfully without modifying the table schema.
