Bug #19890 mysqltest: "query" command is broken

Description:
mysqltest supports a query command that has this syntax:

query <statement>

where <statement> is a SQL statement to send to the server.

But mysqltest sends the entire command, including the leading
"query" to the server, resulting in a syntax error.

How to repeat:
Execute mysqltest and enter any "query" command.

% mysqltest
query select 1;
mysqltest: At line 1: query 'query select 1' failed: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'query select 1' at line 1
not ok

If you examine the server's general log, you'll see "query select 1".

There is not supposed to be a "query" command. :)

I change my mind. "query" could be used as a prefix to force a command to be sent to the server. The query part should be stripped.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:
