Description:
mysqldump.test calls my_print_defaults in a way that includes the systemwide my.cnf, so the results will be beyond our control and depend on whatever the user has in their my.cnf, namely the [mysqldump] section.

How to repeat:
put some funny options in system-wide my.cnf, e.g.

[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet = 16M

Then run mysqldump.test, this should fail showing the above lines as extraneous.

Suggested fix:
my_print_defaults should be called with --config-file rather than --defaults-extra-file to prevent inclusion of system-wide defaults and use our config-file only.
