Bug #52008	FLUSH log_type LOGS should have mysqladmin equivalents

Description:
For MySQL 6.0, FLUSH LOGS was extended to have FLUSH BACKUP LOGS syntax, and mysqladmin was extended to have a flush-backup-logs command. (See Bug#47493.)

For 5.5, Bug#14104 extended FLUSH LOGS to have FLUSH log_type LOGS syntax for other types of logs such as binary or relay logs. However, mysqladmin was not extended with equivalent commands. It would be good for mysqladmin to have flush-binary-logs, flush-relay-logs, etc. commands to match the new syntax of FLUSH LOGS. This is particularly so because these FLUSH LOGS extensions have also been merged up to 6.0 - so in 6.0, one FLUSH LOGS extension has an equivalent mysqladmin command but the other ones do not, which is inconsistent.

How to repeat:
See above.

Thank you for the feature request.

Rather than add a bunch of 'flush-XXX-logs' commands, I think it would be nice to simplify the mysqladmin 'flush' commands a bit to make it 'mysqladmin flush <whatever>'  and deprecate all of the distinct flush-FOO commands.
