Description of your changes
Fixes #141
According to mysql documentation executing FLUSH PRIVILEGES is only required If you modify the grant tables directly using statements such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE (which is not recommended), the changes have no effect on privilege checking until you either tell the server to reload the tables or restart it. (dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/privilege-changes.html). Other references:

to ensure this PR is ready for review.How has this code been tested
The change has been running in our various dev and production environments for a few weeks now. We tried to break our database clusters by adding and removing lots of users concurrently and everything works as expected. Before removing the Flush Privileges call we had a lot of trouble in our replicated db setup which tried to protect itself from inconsistency by just shutting down after adding more then one user at the same time.
