Description:
mysql_secure_installation does not accept any options nor does it allow
for the specification of a config file.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
We could easily allow for a config file by changing line 18 to:
 config={$1}

This is a feature request.

The above patch will accept a single argument, assuming it to be the path to a MySQL
client configuration file. This file will have to include what is normally written by the
script, i.e.

[mysql]
user=root
pass=my secure root password
