Add support for mysql-client 9.0

SergioBenitez commented 3 months ago

It looks like there's no support for identifying mysql-client 9.0, released today. This is causing build failures, which can be overcome by pinning the mysql version. Would be great to support the latest release, however!

I'm happy to accept a PR for that, otherwise this is currently expected behavior as the libmysqlclient headers change in a incompatible way between versions. That means we cannot just allow future versions without having checked that they are compatible in any way or at least without providing some compatibility layer.

I just noticed that it might be helpful to write down what needs to be done:

Use the rust docker image and install the new mysql-client version there
Install bindgen in the docker image
Use https://github.com/sgrif/mysqlclient-sys/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md to generate bindings for the various supported targets (need to install the right cross compiler for these targets as well)
Adjust the build script here to handle the new version: https://github.com/sgrif/mysqlclient-sys/blob/4f9afd960779b463e05363279678da56f025015c/build.rs#L118-L217
Optionally updating the submodule in mysqlclient-src to use the new release (I would strongly prefer having that in a separate PR)
