MDEV-9080 - Debian: incorrect empty password check in postinst

There was code that was supposed to "catch upgrades from previous versions where the root password wasn't set". But it is wrong in many regards: - it is supposed to be executed against running server, but at this point server should be down, which makes this code no-op - if the above is fixed, root password will be requested twice (initial root password request + this one) - it asks for a password only once, while "initial root password request" asks twice (password + password verification) - it may give false positive if unix socket based authentication is in effect

Removed this code since it didn't work for quite a while (at least since mysql-5.1) and nobody cared about it.
