Description:
If using MySQL Community Edition:
- mysql_ssl_rsa_setup creates private_key.pem and public_key.pem
- No warning about RSA keys is given on startup

But sha256_password w/ RSA requires OpenSSL

It is not obvious that this is not suppored with a YaSSL based server (and client?)

Using sha256_password w/o TLS will fail with YaSSL.

How to repeat:
See description

Suggested fix:
If a private_key.pem and/or pubic_key.pem is found in the datadir w/ YaSSL:
- Send a warning to the errorlog indicating that these can't be used.

YaSSL will be removed in an upcoming release of MySQL
