Problem:
=======
MariaDB's command line utilities (e.g., mysql,
mysqldump, etc) silently ignore connection
property options (e.g., --port and --socket)
when protocol is not explicitly set via the
command-line for localhost connections.
Fix:
===
If connection properties are specified without a
protocol, override the protocol to be consistent.
For example, if --port is specified, automatically
set protocol=tcp.
Caveats:
=======
* When multiple connection properties are
specified, nothing is overridden
* If protocol is is set via the command-line,
its value is used

Revert the side effect of 7c40996cc8.
Do not convert password hash to its binary representation when a user
entry is loaded. Do it lazily on the first authenticatation attempt.
As a collateral - force all authentication plugins to follow the
protocol and read_packet at least once before accessing info->username
(username is not available before first client handshake packet is read).
Fix PAM and GSSAPI plugins to behave.
Support SET PASSWORD for authentication plugins.
Authentication plugin API is extended with two optional methods:
* hash_password() is used to compute a password hash (or digest)
from the plain-text password. This digest will be stored in mysql.user
table
* preprocess_hash() is used to convert this digest into some memory
representation that can be later used to authenticate a user.
Build-in plugins convert the hash from hexadecimal or base64 to binary,
to avoid doing it on every authentication attempt.
Note a change in behavior: when loading privileges (on startup or on
FLUSH PRIVILEGES) an account with an unknown plugin was loaded with a
warning (e.g. "Plugin 'foo' is not loaded"). But such an account could
not be used for authentication until the plugin is installed. Now an
account like that will not be loaded at all (with a warning, still).
Indeed, without plugin's preprocess_hash() method the server cannot know
how to load an account. Thus, if a new authentication plugin is
installed run-time, one might need FLUSH PRIVILEGES to activate all
existing accounts that were using this new plugin.
