The newer version of MySQL in Ubuntu 12.04 installs a default
'localhost' user with no username. Due to the way that MySQL looks up
user details when you connect, if you connect from localhost and the
user was only created with a wildcard host (%), the anonymous localhost
user will be found instead. This means that your username is lost for
the connection, and you have no privileges.
This patch creates a second user with a hostname of 'localhost'. This
will not work if your database is on a remote server, but you probably
know what you are doing if that's the case. Patches to determine this
server's name relative to the MySQL server are welcome (or even ideas on
how to do it.)
It also fixes up a couple of other small things:
* make koha-remove stop zebra properly
* stop the warning that the password file is missing on create

Works as promised.
Fixes bugs 6684 6997 4880:
6684 koha-remove should check the number of arguments it gets
6997 koha-remove leaves system in inconsistent state if there is an error
4880 koha-remove sometimes fails because user is logged in

koha-remove would fail with a message like this:
Removing Koha instance --
ERROR 1396 (HY000) at line 1: Operation DROP USER failed for 'koha_--'@'%'
After fixing this, the --keep-mysql option made the script exit without doing
anything.
To test:
Alt 1
- Build package with build-git-snapshot
- Install package
Alt 2
- Replicate the changes in the patch in an existing installation
Then:
- Add instance1 and instance2
- koha-remove instance1
-- Check that script completes and the databse is gone
- koha-remove --keep-mysql instance2
-- Check that the script completes but the database is not removed

This commit makes koha-create more flexible by adding a number of command-line
and configuration options.
The biggest change is to add support for pre-determined MySQL credentials using
a file in /etc/koha/passwd (for security reasons, if you use this feature, make
sure the file is not world-readable). The configuration file has the following
format:
instance:user:password:database
The database is optional, but the other two are both required if you want to
specify MySQL credentials. If no credentials are specified for a given instance,
the standard koha_instance username and an auto-generated password are used.
The following additional command line options are now available:
* --use-db - use a pre-existing database, see also --database
* --database - specify the name of the mysql database (still defaults to
koha_instance)
* --passwdfile - specify a custom (Koha) passwd file for MySQL credentials
The following additional variables are now available (for use in
koha-sites.conf or a custom config file):
* OPACPORT (previously added but not documented) - port on which the OPAC
should be served
* OPACPREFIX - prefix for the OPAC's virtual host
* OPACSUFFIX - suffix for the OPAC's virtual host
This commit also adds the --keep-mysql option to koha-remove, which, if
specified, will prevent koha-remove from deleting the database or MySQL user
when removing an instance.

If you accidentally delete one of the files that koha-remove is supposed to
remove, when koha-remove reaches that point in the script, it will die, leaving
later removal steps undone. This patch fixes the problem by checking for the
existence of each file prior to deleting it, so that short of an actual problem
with removing the file, the script can continue. Note that the fix for bug 6929
is also needed to prevent any problems with stopping Zebra from killing
koha-remove.

koha-common.postinst now creates a symlink to the Debian one.
The sysadmin may replace that manually with something that allows
Koha to access a remote mysql server.
