Support SHOW CREATE USER as in MySQL 5.7

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

MySQL 5.7 supports the syntax SHOW CREATE USER. It is useful for logical dumpers to be able to recreate a user with various flags (since restoring to the tables should be discouraged, and the format can change.)

Describe the feature you'd like:

From MySQL 5.7.19:

mysql [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) > SHOW CREATE USER 'msandbox'@'localhost';
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CREATE USER for msandbox@localhost                                                                                                                                            |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CREATE USER 'msandbox'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS '*6C387FC3893DBA1E3BA155E74754DA6682D04747' REQUIRE NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

As a secondary issue, TiDB cannot currently import this user:

mysql> CREATE USER 'msandbox'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS '*6C387FC3893DBA1E3BA155E74754DA6682D04747' REQUIRE NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
ERROR 1105 (HY000): line 1 column 129 near " NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK" (total length 173)

Describe alternatives you've considered:

An alternative would be to create an information_schema view with the CREATE USER of all users.. but for compatibility reasons as described here makes the most sense.

Teachability, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy:

This will mainly be used by logical dumpers. Thus, this FR relates to #7714

Parser support was added in #8970

@lnhote @tiancaiamao Do you have current plans to implement in TiDB, or would you like me to take a look at it?

[tiancaiamao]

I have no plan for it yet, go ahead if you'd like to @morgo

[lnhote]

I can try it @morgo.

@lnhote Cool! Thanks!

[morgo]

Excellent, thanks!

Is this failure on CI related to this issue?
