New securityonion-setup package restarts MySQL to make config changes take effect

I noticed recently that the following issue didn't actually get resolved properly:

Issue 388: Configure MySQL to create an innodb file per table to prevent ibdata1 growing indefinitely
https://code.google.com/p/security-onion/issues/detail?id=388

After troubleshooting the issue, I realized that Setup was only doing a MySQL reload and that's not picking up the new innodb_file_per_table setting, so we need to replace that with a MySQL restart.  I've updated Setup and the securityonion-setup package.  This new package has been tested by the following (thanks!):
David Zawdie
Heine Lysemose

Screenshots
Old version of Setup resulted in no per-table innodb files

New version of Setup results in an innodb file per table
