[Dovecot] my.cnf reading support in MySQL backend

I hope this ml is the right place to send this... Anyway, I'd very much like for the MySQL backend to call mysql_options, so that it'll read the settings defined in MySQL's my.cnf under the [client] section. This allows to set a whole slew of MySQL specific settings for the MySQL connection, for example to enable the compressed protocol, set charsets, enable SSL client verification, and much more. A patch is attached that implements this. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-options.html for more info.
