Description:
The relationship between mysqlbinlog --database and --rewrite-db options is not documented. If both are specified, there are two possible orders they could be applied. The source code appears to implement it the way that --rewrite-db is applied first and --database second, this needs to be documented.

How to repeat:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysqlbinlog.html and source code reading

Suggested fix:
Add explanations to the --database and --rewrite-db option manual sections describing their relationship.
