      Bug#55873 short startup options do not work in 5.5 · 4c2de881
      Marc Alff authored
      Before this fix, the server did not recognize 'short' (as in -a)
      options but only 'long' (as in --ansi) options
      in the startup command line, due to earlier changes in 5.5
      introduced for the performance schema.
      
      The root cause is that handle_options() did not honor the
      my_getopt_skip_unknown flag when parsing 'short' options.
      
      The fix changes handle_options(), so that my_getopt_skip_unknown is
      honored in all cases.
      
      Note that there are limitations to this,
      see the added doxygen documentation in handle_options().
      
      The current usage of handle_options() by the server to
      parse early performance schema options fits within the limitations.
      This has been enforced by an assert for PARSE_EARLY options, for safety.
