Currently SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS require the SUPER
privilege. Monitoring tools (such as MEM) often want to check this
output - for instance MEM generates the SUM of the sizes of the logs
reported here, and puts that in the Replication overview within the MEM
Dashboard.
However, because of the SUPER requirement, these tools often have an
account that holds open the connection whilst monitoring, and can lock
out administrators when the server gets overloaded and reaches
max_connections - there is already another SUPER privileged account
connected, the "monitor".
As SHOW MASTER STATUS, and all other replication related statements,
return with either REPLICATION CLIENT or SUPER privileges, this worklog
is to make SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS be consistent with this
as well, and allow both of these commands with either SUPER or
REPLICATION CLIENT.
This allows monitoring tools to not require a SUPER privilege any more,
so is safer in overloaded situations, as well as being more secure, as
lighter privileges can be given to users of such tools or scripts.

SUPER is not required to change binlog format for session
A user without SUPER privileges can change the value of the
session variable BINLOG_FORMAT, causing problems for a DBA.
This changeset requires a user to have SUPER privileges to
change the value of the session variable BINLOG_FORMAT, and
not only the global variable BINLOG_FORMAT.
