One should not change the program arguments!
This change also reduces warnings from the icc compiler.
Almost all changes are just syntax changes (adding const to
'get_one_option function' declarations).
Other changes:
- Added a few cast of 'argument' from 'const char*' to 'char *'. This
was mainly in calls to 'external' functions we don't have control of.
- Ensure that all reset of 'password command line argument' are similar.
(In almost all cases it was just adding a comment and a cast)
- In mysqlbinlog.cc and mysqld.cc there was a few cases that changed
the command line argument. These places where changed to instead allocate
the option in a MEM_ROOT to avoid changing the argument. Some of this
code was changed to ensure that different programs did parsing the
same way. Added a test case for the changes in mysqlbinlog.cc
- Changed a few variables that took their value from command line options
from 'char *' to 'const char *'.
it turns out that practically every single user of handle_options()
used the get_one_option callback. Simplify the code,
make it mandatory, adjust unit tests.
