Update MySql driver to v8.0, remove 5.1
According to the MySql support team, 8.0 doesn't have this bug. So are we planning to not support 5.1 anymore?
I checked, and it doesn't have the bug. We are not currently using MySQL, but I we should keep support in PDB, I guess... We could split this into a PDB API module and then implementation modules, that way we could have a mysql5 and a mysql8, each with a different driver version and different capabilities. Or we could bump the driver version, adjust the code, and release a major version.
MySql 5.7 EOL will be next year(October 21, 2023) so maybe we could just support it until then and after just support 8.0
