Information about users accounts. The output can be used as an input of the
mysql_user plugin. Useful when migrating accounts to a new server or to

- Information about users accounts.
- The output can be used as an input of the M(community.mysql.mysql_user) plugin.
- Useful when migrating accounts to another server or to create an inventory.
- Does not support proxy privileges. If an account has proxy privileges, they won't appear in the output.
- Causes issues with authentications plugins C(sha256_password) and C(caching_sha2_password).
If the output is fed to M(community.mysql.mysql_user), the
``plugin_auth_string`` will most likely be unreadable due to non-binary
characters.
