Description:
the default grants contain production.mysql.com, when they shouldn't

  Bug #32219: too many hosts in default grant tables 6.0.3
  
  Fix is to remove any references to the current hostname when running
  mysql_install_db --cross-bootstrap.  (The dist-hook make target makes
  this call, and the resulting data directory is included in the source
  distribution as win/data/*.)
  
  Also, a few other clean-ups to mysql_install_db while there.

The default grant tables on Windows contained information
for host production.mysql.com, which should not be there.
