Description:
Currently the secure_file_priv allows to specify only one directory name for secure data imports and exports. 
However, in many cases, it is needed to use more then one directory. And users in such circumstance are now forced to disable this option entirely, loosing this security measure.

How to repeat:
Try to put more then one dir name under secure_file_priv option.

Suggested fix:
Make the secure_file_priv option accept a list of directory names instead of only single one.

Hello Przemyslaw,

Thank you for the reasonable feature request!

Thanks,
Umesh
