RPM spec file improvements:

- create a "mysql" user group and assign the mysql user account to that group
  in the server postinstall section. (BUG 10984)
- backported some changes from the 4.1 RPM spec file (cleanups: removed the incomplete
  Brazilian translations, more consequent use of macros)
