BUG#17324415:GETTING MYSQLD --HELP AS ROOT EXITS WITH 1

Browse source 
Analysis
--------

Running 'MYSQLD --help --verbose' as ROOT user without
using '--user' option displays the help contents but
aborts at the end with an exit code '1'.

While starting the server, a validation is performed to
ensure when the server is started as root user, it should
be done using '--user' option. Else we abort. In case
of help, we dump the help contents and abort.

Fix:
---
During the validation, we skip aborting the server incase
we are using the help option under the condition mentioned
above.

NOTE: Test case has not been added since it requires using 
      'root' user.
