Title: Remove mysql user check to write .my.cnf

This is a fix for issue 294. If .my.cnf is removed or does not exist, puppet is not able to run the MySQL queries required to check that 'root@localhost' exists because the defaults_file does not exist and then, as specified in the reported issue, no password is passed to the query.
