[DRE-maint] Bug#803222: RuntimeError: Incorrect MySQL client library version

thanks

After more careful look at this bug, the problem is entirely within
ruby-mysql and its handling of MySQL versions. Debian does not work
the way this software thinks. Needless to say, the entire MySQL
version check currently results in complete breaking of ruby-mysql on
testing and sid, requiring a rebuild.

Furthermore, rebuilding does not fix the bug at root of the
problem. If MySQL get upgraded to another minor version while keeping
its soname as is (ie. ABI doesn't change), ruby-mysql will break
again.

The attached patch removes this broken version checking.
