Issue #885: Can't locate lib/mtr_process.pl in @INC on Ubuntu 18.04.1
Add "." to @INC array like upstream does.
Just want to make sure you are aware of this: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/d185f1d68bb1f37bea10d8ac6188e5a04fa... I see the branch nick is mysql-5.6-<something>, so maybe this is like this for legacy reasons, which is fine. But this is basically the wrong fix. Clearly sometimes in ancient history, someone did not understand Perl `require` semantics, and ended up with a horrible mess. For example, if someone ever finds they need `require mtr_misc.pl` in a third file, they will find it will not work. Anyway, just a pointer in case you were not aware of a small land-mine hidden under your feet ;-) - Kristian.

Yes, I was aware of that patch. The patch I've committed was for Facebook's MySQL branch, so I assumed copying MySQL's solution would be more appropriate (I wasn't aware of its limitations though).
