Please make the mysql-socket-file location a configure-option

[coldtobi]

I think /var/run/drizzle/mysql.socket is more sane (reading the FHS) than /tmp/mysql.socket.

Note: The attached branch changes the default location to /var/run/drizzle/mysql.socket.
However, /var/run/drizzle needs to be created e.g. by the init.d / upstart file with the proper permissions/ownerships.

FHS is a Linux standard, and makes no sense at all to people on other
Unix OS's[1]. Also /tmp/mysql.socket is the default on MySQL itself, so it
would make sense to match that for the least amount of confusion.

If its not a 'configure' option, that should be fixed, but otherwise,
I don't think /var/run/drizzle/mysql.socket makes any sense for the
source distribution of Drizzle (and, keep in mind that I am a Debian
and Ubuntu developer, so for my chosen platforms, this would make the
packaging simpler, but I still think its the wrong approach).
