Usability - Change CLI options to make -p mean --port, not --password
USABILITY ISSUE:
Currently, specifying -p on the drizzle command line client indicates that a password is expected (--password). Standard *nix command line options typically use -p as the *port* specifier, not password.
Change the option processing so that the situation follows the more typical usage for Drizzle (which does not use Unix sockets and only uses ports) so that -p is the port specifier and --password is what is used to specify a password
PER MAILING LIST SUGGESTIONS:
Change client program to give a helpful error message if -p is used with a non-integer argument, which would indicate that the user was assuming -p stood for password.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT:
Create short FAQ/Help Doc on Drizzle.org wiki about the change after it is merged into mainline.
