[ARGUS] argus-clients and mysql8

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hi there,

in Ubuntu we have been carrying a workaround/patch for a mysql8 build
problem. Mysql8 removed the my_bool definition[1]:
"""
Incompatible Change: The my_bool type is no longer used in MySQL
source code. Any third-party code that used this type to represent C
boolean variables should use the bool or int C type instead.
"""

The patch is:

As I said, it's just a workaround, because it's reintroducing the
removed typedef. Upstream should probably use a proper new type.

Cheers!
