Description:
This is feature request of mysqldump's new option "--grants".
It behave like "--triggers" dumps CREATE TRIGGER statements and "--routines" dumps CREATE PROCEDURE statements, "--grants" will dump GRANT statements.

It is useful for restoring different table definition in mysql schema.
For example, upgrading 5.5 to 5.6(5.6's mysql.user have password_expired column, but 5.5's does not)

How to repeat:
This is feature request.

Suggested fix:
See attached patch.
