  percona-xtrabackup wrong mysql socket path

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Default socket path for MySQL switched from /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock to /tmp/mysqld.sock which is not the path that any of the MySQL family in Ubuntu actually listens on; workaround via configuration file but needs fixing.

  [Test Case]
  sudo apt install percona-xtrabackup mariadb-server
  sudo mkdir -p /srv/backup
  sudo xtrabackup --backup --target-dir=/srv/backup

  Backup fails to connect to mysql with the error in the original bug
  report

  [Regression Potential]
  Limited; we missed this and two other compilation flag changes during the original update - the proposed updates re-sync the Ubuntu packaging with the upstream packaging in terms of compilation flags and value.

  [Original Bug Report]
  percona-xtrabackup was upgraded from 2.2.3-2.1build1.1 to 2.3.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.1.

  It appears that MySQL default socket file path has changed in the new
  version.

  After the update my backups started failing with the following:

  170402 06:30:04 Connecting to MySQL server host: localhost, user: root, password: not set, port: not set, socket: not set
  Failed to connect to MySQL server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2).

  Workaround:

  Add the following in /root/.my.cnf or similar:

  [client]
  socket = /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
