Inplace algorithm doesn't support changing virtual column datatype

Details

    Description

      Inplace algorithm doesn't support change of virtual column data type.

      --source include/have_innodb.inc
      		 
      create table t1(f1 int not null, f2 char(100) as ("test") virtual)engine=innodb;
      		 
      alter table t1 modify column f2 varchar(200) as ("db") virtual, algorithm=inplace;
      		 
      drop table t1;

      Above alter fails with the following error:

      failed: 1845: ALGORITHM=INPLACE is not supported for this operation. Try ALGORITHM=COPY

      There is no reason mentioned why inplace fails. Above alter doesn't affect the data or rebuild
      the table. It should be part of INNOBASE_INPLACE_IGNORE flag. I think inplace should support this operation.
