Summary: [PATCH] Allow setting the mysql port as string or int

Initial Comment:
The MySQL driver only accepts a port set via dbi_conn_set_option_numeric, while 
other drivers (namely Postgres) accept both string or numeric ports. This 
inconsistency can lead to problems, when one tries to set the SQL server's port 
from a program built with libdbi: one driver expects a numeric port, another a 
string, a third accepts either. Setting either overrides the other, thus, the 
program would need to decide based on the database driver, which is 
unfortunate. If we only set one, for example the string option, 
dbi_conn_get_option_numeric will return 0, and thus breaking the connection 
attempt.

It would be better, if all the drivers worked like the Postgres driver, and 
used whichever is set. A patch by Viktor Tusa for the MySQL driver is attached.
