Mysql: Add support for sha256_password pluggable authentication
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/sha256-pluggable-authentication.html
Edit: Note that support for caching_sha2_password is already implemented. See #794.

It seems that is related on #552 , and the implement is depends on it will be accepted or not.

Previously I made a patch supporting auth switching to native password (sha1) on this and I definitely vote that we should start sha256 support now.

Just a friendly note that with MySQL 8.0.4-rc comes a new default for authentication: caching_sha2_password is now used when creating users.
If you want to use a go-sql-driver/mysql supported authentication plugin, you have to create/alter users to use a different one.
As as workaround, you could use the MySQL Native Password plugin:
ALTER USER 'youruser'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' BY 'secret';
Note that you will need to explicitly set "allowNativePasswords=True" in the DSN.
(I did implement auth plugins in MySQL Connector/Python, I know the pain)
