New option force Server version detection CONJS-119

Azure is using a proxy that will return a MySQL handshake not reflecting real server.

A new option forceVersionCheck is added to permit issuing a new SELECT @@Version command on connection creation,

to retrieve the correct server version. Connector will then act according to that server version.

Query timeout implementation CONJS-20

This option is only permitted for MariaDB server >= 10.1.2, and permits to set a timeout to query operation.

Driver internally use SET STATEMENT max_statement_time=<timeout> FOR <command> permitting to cancel operation when timeout is reached,

Implementation of max_statement_time is engine dependent, so there might be some differences: For example, with Galera engine, a commits will ensure replication to other nodes to be done, possibly then exceeded timeout, to ensure proper server state.

example:

//query that takes more than 20s
connection
  .query({sql: 'information_schema.tables, information_schema.tables as t2', timeout: 100 })
  .then(...)
  .catch(err => {
          // SQLError: (conn=2987, no: 1969, SQLState: 70100) Query execution was interrupted (max_statement_time exceeded)
          // sql: select * from information_schema.columns as c1, information_schema.tables, information_schema.tables as t2 - parameters:[]
          // at Object.module.exports.createError (C:\projets\mariadb-connector-nodejs.git\lib\misc\errors.js:55:10)

          //     fatal: true,
          //         errno: 1969,
          //         sqlState: '70100',
          //         code: 'ER_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT'
          // }
  });

Fast-authentication improvement CONJS-110

• add mysql_native_password to fast-authentication path

• plugin 'mysql_native_password' is used by default if default server plugin is unknown

• unexpected packet type during handshake result will throw a good error.

Pool leak detection CONJS-117

A new option leakDetection permits to indicate a timeout to log connection borrowed from pool.

When a connection is borrowed from pool and this timeout is reached, a message will be logged to console indicating a possible connection leak.

Another message will tell if the possible logged leak has been released.

A value of 0 (default) meaning Leak detection is disable

Additionally, some error messages have improved:

• Connection timeout now indicate that this correspond to socket failing to establish

• differentiate timeout error when closing pool to standard connection retrieving timeout

misc:

• CONJS-120 Permit values in SQL object to permits compatibility with mysql/mysql2

• CONJS-118 missing import for Error when asking for connection when pool is closed. Thanks to @WayneMDB

• correcting typescript import of @types/node to version >8 thanks to @SimonSchick

• dependencies update
