Bug Description

mysqld_multi has trouble reading passwords with my_print_defaults

read_defaults_by_group() reads options from defaults files, but according to my_print_defaults manpage:

       · --show, -s
           As of MySQL 5.6.25, my_print_defaults masks passwords by defaults. Use this option to display passwords in cleartext.

read_defaults_by_group() does not use the --show option for my_print_defaults and receives passwords as masked strings.

This leads to login failures when stopping servers using mysqld_multi.

This is fixed by using:

my @defaults_options = ('--show'); # Leading --no-defaults, --defaults-file, etc.
