Clean up the mysql_install_db script to ensure that a sane environment is

available and reduce the chance of failure.  This should fix bug#28585
which is caused by the script being quite random in how it finds files it
requires and not giving very good feedback to the user about what went
wrong.

Also update make_binary_distribution so that it provides the correct path
to the required SQL scripts when generating mysql_install_db.  The script
only previously worked because of the permissive behaviour which looked
around the current working directory before the "correct" location.  This
could lead to severe problems if the user happened to run the script from
a location which contained older or even broken copies of the SQL scripts.

We now require either a complete binary release (and the mysql_install_db
script ran from inside the extracted archive), or an installed compiled
tree, as this is the only way we can be sure everything that we need is
available and ready to run.

While working on this fix, also clean up the mysql_install_db script a lot
to make it simpler, easier to read, and hopefully less prone to bugs in
the future.

+  --force              Causes mysql_install_db to run even if DNS does not
+                       work.  In that case, grant table entries that normally
+                       use hostnames will use IP addresses.
+  --ldata=path         The path to the MySQL data directory.
+  --rpm                For internal use.  This option is used by RPM files
+                       during the MySQL installation process.
+  --skip-name-resolve  Use IP addresses rather than hostnames when creating
+                       grant table entries.  This option can be useful if
+                       your DNS does not work.

+                       mysql_install_db looks for support files such as the

+  --user=user_name     The login username to use for running mysqld.  Files
+                       and directories created by mysqld will be owned by this
+                       user.  You must be root to use this option.  By default
