FTBFS with MySQL 8.0

[Lars Tangvald]

MySQL 8.0 removes the my_bool symbol, and it should simply be replaced with int or bool (this is also backwards-compatible with older versions of MySQL)

I will try to spin up a new Ubuntu machine to fix this at some point. In the mean time I have a mostly untested patch.

The attachment "fix-mysql-bool.diff" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

I just tried this in an Ubuntu 19.10 in a VM and I've not been able to reproduce it. Looking at /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h, it seems at some point the my_bool transitions has been given more time:

thomas@ubuntu:~$ grep my_bool /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
// Give third-party packages more time to drop my_bool
typedef bool my_bool;
thomas@ubuntu:~$
