The problem is that the C API function mysql_real_connect
only attempts to connect to the first IP address returned
for a hostname. This can be a problem if a hostname maps
to multiple IP address and the server is not bound to the
first one that is returned.

The solution is to augment mysql_real_connect so that it
attempts to connect to all IPv4 addresses that a domain
name maps to. The function goes over the list of address
until a successful connection is established.

No test case is provided as its not possible to test this
automatically with the current testing infrastructure.

sql-common/client.c:
  The client will try to connect to each IPv4 address from
  the list of addresses that hostname maps to until a successful
  connection is established or there are no more address.
