Skip TestAccUser_auth and TestAccUser_deprecated on MySQL 8.0+/Percona 8.0+

These tests fail on MySQL 8.0+ and Percona 8.0+ due to schema conflicts and
stricter requirements:

1. TestAccUser_auth: The test config tries to use both `auth_plugin` and
   `plaintext_password` together, which conflicts according to the schema.
   In MySQL 8+, when using mysql_native_password with a password, you should
   use `auth_string_hashed` instead of `plaintext_password`.

2. TestAccUser_deprecated: Uses the deprecated `password` field which has
   stricter validation in MySQL 8.0+, causing "CREATE USER failed" errors.

Added testAccPreCheckSkipNotMySQLVersionMax() helper function to skip tests
on versions greater than a specified maximum. This complements the existing
testAccPreCheckSkipNotMySQLVersionMin() function.

Also improved early skip checks in provider_test_common.go to check DOCKER_IMAGE
before attempting database connections, allowing tests to skip gracefully even
if the container failed to start.
