    Add option --enable-cleartext-plugin to the MariaDB client · 31e30329

    For compatibility reasons, add the option to the MariaDB client without
    any functional changes besides simply accepting the option and emitting
    a warning that it is obsolete.
    
    In MySQL this security related option is compulsory in certain use
    cases. When users switch to MariaDB, this client command that used to
    work starts failing without a sensible error message. In worst case
    users resort to re-installing the mysql client from MySQL.
    
    In MariaDB the option is obsolete and should simply be ignored. Users
    however don't have any opportunity to learn that unless the client
    program tells them so.
    
    Before:
    
        mysql --enable-cleartext-plugin ...
        mysql: unknown option '--enable-cleartext-plugin'
    
        (program terminates)
    
    After:
    
        mysql --enable-cleartext-plugin ...
        WARNING: option '--enable-cleartext-plugin' is obsolete.
    
        (program executes)
