Vicențiu Ciorbaru fdfdea40f1 MDEV-11170: MariaDB 10.2 cannot start on MySQL 5.7 datadir: ...

Fatal error: mysql.user table is damaged or in unsupported 3.20 format

The problem stems from MySQL 5.7.6. According to MySQL documentation:
In MySQL 5.7.6, the Password column was removed and all credentials are
stored in the authentication_string column.

If opening a MySQL 5.7.6 (and up) datadir with MariaDB 10.2, the user table
appears corrupted. In order to fix this, the server must be started with
--skip-grant-tables and then a subsequent mysql_upgrade command must be
issued.

This patch updates the mysql_upgrade command to also add the removed
Password column. The password column is necessary, otherwise
the mysql_upgrade script fails due to the Event_scheduler not being able
to start, as it can't find Event_priv in the table where it ought to be.
MySQL's version has column position 28 (0 index) vs our datadir version
expects position 29.
