Problem Description:
A mysqld_safe instance is started. An InnoDB crash recovery begins which takes
few seconds to complete. During this crash recovery process happening, another
mysqld_safe instance is started with the same server startup parameters. Since
the mysqld's pid file is absent during the crash recovery process the second
instance assumes there is no other process and tries to acquire a lock on the
ibdata files in the datadir. But this step fails and the 2nd instance keeps
retrying 100 times each with a delay of 1 second. Now after the 100 attempts,
the server goes down, but while going down it hits the mysqld_safe script's
cleanup section and without any check it blindly deletes the socket and pid
files. Since no lock is placed on the socket file, it gets deleted.
Solution:
We create a mysqld_safe.pid file in the datadir, which protects the presence
server instance resources by storing the mysqld_safe's process id in it. We
place a check if the mysqld_safe.pid file is existing in the datadir. If yes
then we check if the pid it contains is an active pid or not. If yes again,
then the scripts logs an error saying "A mysqld_safe instance is already
running". Otherwise it will log the present mysqld_safe's pid into the
mysqld_safe.pid file.

Trivial cleanup
scripts/mysqld_safe.sh:
Added support for --crash-script.
Don't remove socket file (not needed as server will re-create it if needed)
Patch by Eric Bergen
storage/maria/ha_maria.h:
Removed not existing variable.
Some shell interpreters do not support '-e' test
primary to construct conditions.
man test 1 (on S10)
...skip...
-e file True if file exists. (Not available in sh.)
...skip...
Hence, check for the existence of a file using
'-e' might result in a syntax error on such
shell programs.
Fixed by replacing it by '-f'.

mysqld_safe script did not heed MySQL specific environment variable
$UMASK, leading to divergent behavior between mysqld and mysqld_safe.
Patch adds an approximation of mysqld's behavior to mysqld_safe,
within the bounds dictated by attempt to have mysqld_safe run on
even the most basic of shells (proper '70s sh, not just bash
with a fancy symlink).
Patch also adds approximation of said behavior to mysqld_multi
(in perl).

TO DEFAULT IGNOR
The test in mysqld_safe for the presence of the --plugin-dir and assigning a default
value to it were performed before the actual argument parsing.
This is wrong, as PLUGIN_DIR mysqld_safe code also uses MY_BASEDIR_VERSION to
look for version specific plugin directory if present.
Fixed by moving the PLUGIN_DIR logic after the parse_arguments() call.

Added a --nowatch (with aliases --no-watch and --no-auto-restart) option to mysqld_safe that causes it to exit after
spawning mysqld. We don't need mysqld_safe to restart mysqld after a crash, because systemd can do that just fine.
Based on code from Maarten Vanraes
scripts/mysqld_safe.sh:
Added option --nowatch (with aliases --no-watch and --no-auto-restart)
Added a trottling mechanism to mysqld_safe.
On every 5 sub-second restarts it will wait for a second before attempting again.
Note that this requires 'sleep' and 'date' command line utilities.
The code would adjust and will do nothing if any of them is not present.

Rather than hardcode the plugin directory, enhance mysql_config
to fix plugin path when running a relocated install, and use it
to provide the plugin directory to mysqld_safe.
