Need to come up with a better strategy for versioning the guest agent's my.cnf

Registered by Nikhil Manchanda

Today, the my.cnf file on the guest agent is pulled down from an apt repository that is set up (by redstack) on the host. This seems overkill just for supporting different flavors. One way would be that we could store configurable, targeted settings somewhere in the database and have the guestagent get them from there.

We need some more discussion around this, before we agree upon a suitable solution.
