The FIELD_TYPE constants are for BC. The JSON/VECTOR types are not
defined in FIELD_TYPE for libmysqlclient.
MYSQL_TYPE is available since MYSQL 5.0.0, so switch to that.

Since MYSQL_TYPEs are enums and not defines, we need version checks
instead.
JSON was added in mysql 8.0.0 in mysql/mysql-server@c24045514581
VECTOR was added in mysql 9.0.0 in mysql/mysql-server@8cd51511de7d

Replaces GH-20245.

switch (type) {
PDO_MYSQL_NATIVE_TYPE_NAME(STRING)
PDO_MYSQL_NATIVE_TYPE_NAME(VAR_STRING)
#ifdef FIELD_TYPE_TINY

Don't you need to replace these as well?

Ah darn it, those are part of an enum so you can't ifdef them...

Huh indeed. Thanks. Looks like it got backported in mysql/mysql-server@3e14f9f in 5.7.8, adjusting again...
