Description:
mysqladmin from 8.0 uses 'SHUTDOWN' query instead of COM_SHUTDOWN, therefore doesn't work anymore on 5.6 instances. this breaks compatibility and doesn't work well in environments where one has different server versions. 

How to repeat:
mysqladmin -h mysql56 shutdown

Suggested fix:
don't break stuff.
