C<DROP FOREIGN KEY constraint_name> requires specifying C<_constraint_name>
rather than the real C<constraint_name>. Due to a limitation in MySQL,
pt-online-schema-change adds a leading underscore to foreign key constraint
names when creating the new table. For example, to drop this contraint:
CONSTRAINT `fk_foo` FOREIGN KEY (`foo_id`) REFERENCES `bar` (`foo_id`)
You must specify C<--alter "DROP FOREIGN KEY _fk_foo">.
