my.cnf: mention that config files must be *.cnf
It took me a long time to debug why my configs were not being loaded, and judging from online discussions I'm not the only one. Make the comment in the default my.cnf a bit more helpful. The !includedir directive is implemented in mysys/my_default.c. - f_extensions[] is a list of file extensions. It includes .ini and .cnf on Windows, and only .cnf on all other platforms. - search_default_file_with_ext() contains the !includedir directive. It filters files in the directory to those matching f_extensions[]. This file should only be applicable on Unix-like platforms, so only files with the .cnf extension are read. Closes #1485
