Description:
When I start a MySQL 5.5.57 and greater with mysqld_safe mysqladmin shutdown does not wait for the pid file to disappear. So mysqladmin shutdown exits before mysqld is down.

This is caused by introducing a new variable in mysqld_safe:

pid_file_append

The value which gets assigned to pid_file_append isn't the absolute path to the pid but only `hostname.pid`. 

How to repeat:
# start MySQL with mysqld_safe (don't specify --pid-file)
# stop mysql from any directory except the datadirectory with mysqladmin shutdown

Suggested fix:
remove pid_file_append variable and replace it with pid_file variable
