Bug#11757855 - 49967: built-in libedit doesn't read

.editrc on linux.

MySQL client when build with libedit support ignores
.editrc at startup.

The reason for this regression was the incluison of a
safety check, issetugid(), which is not available on
some linux platforms.

Fixed by adding an equivalent check for platforms which
have get[e][u|g]id() set of functions.
