Bug #4141	safe-updates option missing

Version:	1.0.4 beta	OS:	Windows (Windows + Linux)
Assigned to:	Ulrich Bayer	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The safe-updates option (a.k.a. i-am-a-dummy) is missing from the server settings.
This option is, next to "max-join-size" (which does exist, but only way down in the advanced tab) very useful for new users, preventing update/delete statements that don't use a key (i.e. "DELETE FROM table" will not wipe your entire table and "UPDATE table ..." will not apply to your entire table).

How to repeat:
Check out the menus/tabs.

Suggested fix:
Please add this option asap, plus any other missing ones.
Thanks.

I have moved "max-join-size" to the top of the "Various"-group. 
We probably should reorganize options and their categories at some time in the future.
As discussed on IRC the safe-updates option is a client-option which should be supported by the query browser.
