proxy should provide a database link

[wendorf]

If I am using the proxy to connect to my database, I cannot use BOSH links and must provide the port information directly in my other jobs' properties. Because the proxy is effectively a database (by virtue of acting as the front of a database) it should provide a link that my other jobs can consume.

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

Suggested formats:

provides:
- name: mysql-proxy
  type: mysql
  properties:
  - port

If properties are not renamed before this work is done:

provides:
- name: mysql-proxy
  type: mysql
  properties:
  - cf_mysql.mysql.port

Hello!

We were reviewing this issue earlier today when we noticed:

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-mysql-release/blob/develop/jobs/proxy/spec#L29

Does this currently meet the requirement?

@menicosia @GarfieldIsAPhilosopher no, the link exposed by the proxy needs to be the same as what is exposed by the mysql job, otherwise the proxy cannot be a substitute for the mysql job - the consumer would need to pull a differently-named link property from the proxy as from the mysql job.

Closing this in favor of following through in #154 .
