Bug#21224: mysql_upgrade uses possibly insecure temporary files

Browse Source 
We open for writing a known location, which is exploitable with a symlink
attack.  Now, use the EXCLusive flag, so that the presence of anything at 
that location causes a failure.  Try once to open safely, and if failure 
then remove that location and try again to open safely.  If both fail, then
raise an error.
