Description:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_init_connect

Please add information about what's done with the resultset. It is not shown.
Otherwise people might think it is not working because they don't see any output.

How to repeat:
SET GLOBAL init_connect='SELECT ''foo''';
And connect with a non-SUPER user
