 Description   

This is similar to CONC-399.

Should MariaDB Connector/C have an option that roughly corresponds to the behavior of the --defaults-group-suffix MariaDB command-line option? This command-line option adds a suffix to all option groups that are read.

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/configuring-mariadb-with-option-files/#custom-option-group-suffixes

It may be useful to have an option like this if we ever want MariaDB Connector/C to parse my.cnf and other option/configuration files for client tools. e.g. see MDEV-19035

It may also be a good idea for MariaDB Connector/C to support the MYSQL_GROUP_SUFFIX environment variable.
