post-review fixes

include/my_sys.h:
  added prototype for the defaults correction function
libmysql/Makefile.shared:
  my_chsize added to libmysql to let my_correct_defaults_file be used from libmysql
mysys/default.c:
  New defaults function added we use it to correct defaults file. Currently the function doesn't lock defaults
  file. This is because of the linking and backwards-compatibility issues. This needs to be fixed later.

  comment added
