Description:
mysqld_safe.sh script and mysql_install_db.sh script has an option for specifying user that it runs as and that owns the database. It would be nice to have apart from --user option --group option for those as well.

How to repeat:
Try installing new database that would be owned by specified group.

Suggested fix:
Add --group option.

Does it make sense to add support for group to mysqld_safe.sh and mysql_install_db.sh  scripts when mysqld don't have a --group option?
