Add support for nodejs mysql2 package in TypeScript definition

[thomaschaaf]

Currently per the TypeScript definition only the mysql package may be used. According to the issue #6 the mysql2 package is also supported.

@thomaschaaf thanks for raising this issue, you're right mysql2 types should be supported for instrumentation in our type definitions as well. We are open to you adding a PR for this support otherwise I'll add it soon.

Any updates on this? I seem to have run into this issue, my code is

import mysql2 from 'mysql2'
import { captureMySQL } from 'aws-xray-sdk'

const mysqlCaptured = captureMySQL(mysql2)

Which results in the following type check error:

Types of property 'createConnection' are incompatible.
Type '{ (connectionUri: string): Connection; (config: ConnectionOptions): Connection; }' is not assignable to type '(connectionUri: string | ConnectionConfig) => Connection'.
Types of parameters 'connectionUri' and 'connectionUri' are incompatible.
Type 'string | ConnectionConfig' is not assignable to type 'string'.
Type 'ConnectionConfig' is not assignable to type 'string'.

Hello, I've raised a PR to hopefully close this issue. Feedback welcome. Looks like the PR workflows require maintainer approval if anyone reading this has sufficient permissions, please?
