Description

If the mysql client starts a script (regardsless if via < or source funtion),
and the script invokes other scripts (only scriptnames without pathes),
mysql search the scripts only in the working dir of mysql client.

Add an option
--script-dir=<directorypath>
which set the path, where scripts will be searched via source command in a sql-scripts

Default is still mysql client path

conventionally, -I (uppercase i, not lowercase L) is used for paths like that.

For some weird historical reason it means --help in mysql client, as if -? wasn't enough.

May be it should be changed to mean --script-dir ?
