Description:
mysqldump returns no errors, and silently ignores CREATE PROCEDURE statements, when running the dump using a user that does not have SELECT privileges for the mysql.proc table.

This is silently allowing inconsistent backups.

How to repeat:
use test;
drop table t1;
create table t1 (i int);
drop procedure p1;
delimiter //
create procedure p1() begin select 1; end//
delimiter ;
grant all on test.* to test@localhost;
exit
mysqldump -u test --routines --databases test > test.sql
grep p1 test.sql

Suggested fix:
Raise an error with mysqldump when privileges are lacking, or drop the requirement for privileges on mysql.proc to be able to use the --routines option.
