Description:

mysqltest already provide
--copy_file
--append_file
and similar commands

Some tests scripts already use:
--system mkdir
--system rmdir
but these tests do not run on Windows platform.

Please provide the following commands in mysqltest:
--mkdir
--rmdir

How to repeat:

Use
--system mkdir
in a test that runs on windows,
see that it fails.

Suggested fix:

Implement the new commands listed

In 5.1 there is a "hack" in upgrade.test that need to be removed.

What are the semantics for these commands? Success if they succeed, I suppose, but what
if:

- The directory already exists for mkdir? Is there a special error code?
- The directory is not empty for rmdir? Is there a special error code?
- The directory does not exist for rmdir? Is there a special error code? (It's reasonable
to suppose that you'd want to ignore an error for rmdir if the error is that the directory
doesn't exist.)

0 in case of success and 1 in case of any error, the same as for other file system
commands.

Noted in 5.0.58, 5.1.24, 6.0.5 changelogs.

mysqltest now has mkdir and rmdir commands for creating and removing
directories.
