Bug Description

percona-toolkit does support the mysql defaults-file when connecting to the database but since 5.6.6 we've had the possibility to use the mysql_config_editor to store connection configurations in an encrypted file, thereby releasing the need to store user passwords in clear text in an OS file, or pass the password as an argument on the command line. I'm aware of the --ask-pass option but would it be possible to utilize the --login-path option

e.g
> pt-show-grants --login-path=somedb
