MXS-839: Detect multi-master topologies with mysqlmon

The mysqlmon now supports proper detection of multi-master topologies by
building a directed graph out of the monitored server. If cycles are found from
this graph, they are assigned a master group ID. All servers with a positive
master group ID will receive the Master status unless they have `@@read_only`
enabled.

This new functionality can be enabled with the 'multimaster' boolean
parameter.

### `multimaster`
Detect multi-master replication topologies. This feature is disabled by default.
When enabled, the multi-master detection looks for the root master servers in
the replication clusters. These masters can be found by detecting cycles in the
graph created by the servers. When a cycle is detected, it is assigned a master
group ID. Every master in a master group will receive the Master status. The
special group ID 0 is assigned to all servers which are not a part of a
multi-master replication cycle.
If one or more masters in a group has the `@@read_only` system variable set to
`ON`, those servers will receive the Slave status even though they are in the
multi-master group. Slave servers with `@@read_only` disabled will never receive
the master status.
By setting the servers into read-only mode, the user can control which
server receive the master status. To do this:
- Enable `@@read_only` on all servers (preferrably through the configuration file)
- Manually disable `@@read_only` on the server which should be the master
This functionality is similar to the [Multi-Master Monitor](MM-Monitor.md)
functionality. The only difference is that the MySQL monitor will also detect
traditional Master-Slave topologies.
## Example 1 - Monitor script
Here is an example shell script which sends an email to an admin when a server goes down.
