    Bug#55873 short startup options do not work in 5.5 · 47c6b6a6
    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.
