Install keyring plugin

We must use the keyring_file.so library with this plugin. To make it usable, put the library file under the plugin directory first, and then perform either of these steps:

• Load the plugin on server startup by adding the --plugin-load-add parameter in the my.cnf file:

        mysqld]        plugin-load-add=keyring_file.so

• Register the plugin at runtime by executing the following command:

        INSTALL PLUGIN keyring_file SONAME 'keyring_file.so';
