>Summary: check_mysql: ignore authentication failure

Initial Comment:
This patch allows checking if MySQL server is running without providing valid username and password. Similar to check_ssh plugin it returns MySQL server version string and protocol number.

Example:
check_mysql -n -H aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
MySQL OK - Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny5 (protocol 10)

This is useful for monitoring servers where one does not have administrator privileges or does not want to grant any privileges for the monitoring station.

To enable this functionality new option --ignore-auth (-n) is added to check_mysql plugin.
