Description:
To upgrade from 5.6 to 5.7:
1. stop 5.6
2. start 5.7 (bind it to ::1 or use skip-networking)
3. run mysql_upgrade
4. restart

Why not do it like this:
1. Let 5.7 write a version id to to $datadir/MYSQL_VERSION_ID
2. Let MySQL 5.8 detect this on startup and automatically bind to ::1
3. Then do the upgrade
4. Then automatically restart (or if possible re-initialize)

How to repeat:
