[Bug 1478849] [NEW] infinite loop in /usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-start causes non-interactive installations to fail/hang

# Problem description
When installing mysql-server-5.6 with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
(which is done e.g. by Puppet, SaltStack and other config management
tools), the installation will fail as not only files will be deployed to
the filesystem, but also an attempt to start the (unconfigured) service
is made.
Running the following command can be used to reproduce the issue on
Ubuntu 15.04 here:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-
confold -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confdef install mysql-server-5.6
The result is that the service start (run as StartExecPost=) hangs for
quite a while in the endless loop in /usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-
start:
pinger () {
while /bin/true ; do
sleep 1
mysqladmin ping /dev/null 21 break
done
}
After a while of nothing happening, systemd decides it had enough of it,
kills the script and reports a service startup failure.
