mysql_connect echos a failure message direktly to the html
page instead of store it for geting it via mysql_error()

I use mysql_connect together with http authentification. 
I Use the Username an Passwd supplied by apache to connect
to mysql. As this far everything work fine. But if the 
login fails mysql_connect echos the error Page to the 
created Page making it imposible to use
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); to signal unauthorized
access back to the user. 

If the user just misstyped his passwd, there is no way to 
correct this because Netscape don?t redisplay the 
Username/Passwd requester. Not until Netscape is quit and
restarted.

I'm changing this to a Documentation bug, since it indicates a
problem in the documentation. The behaviour described here is not a
bug (i.e., that's the way it's supposed to be), but maybe the docs don't
make that clear enough.

Changed the documentation to show the function returns an error message on failure, together with a note on how to suppress the error message by prepending '@' to the function.
