MDEV-12484 Enable unix socket authentication by default
Change the default authentication for root@localhost to IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING 'invalid' OR unix_socket which provides secure passwordless login, while still allowing SET PASSWORD to work as expected. Also create a second all-privilege account for the user that owns datadir (and thus has full access to the data anyway). Compile unix_socket plugin statically into the server.
