Description:
I would like to be able to store the database name in .mylogin.cnf so that I don't have to type it when using `mysql --login-path`.  For example, I wish I could:

```
$ mysql_config_editor set --login-path=foo --user=dbuser --host=127.0.0.1 --dbname=foo -p
```

And then
```
$ mysql --login-path=foo

mysql> SELECT DATABASE();
+--------------------+
| DATABASE()         |
+--------------------+
| foo                |
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
```

My actual database is `tcmacave_wordpress`, which is long enough to type that I wish I had the convenience of including it in the config.
