The protocol now allows protocol modules to return JSON formatted
information about the protocol module internals. Currently this is only
implemented by the mariadbbackend module and it returns the current
connection ID on the backend server.
Removed unused and properly documented all entry points in the protocol
module API. As the removal of the `session` entry point is an backwards
incompatible change, the protocol API version was updated.
All modules now have an 8-bit range for capability flags. Currently only
the client side authenticator and protocol capability bits are loaded due
to the fact that backend versions of these modules don't relate to a
particular service.
If a connection has not been fully established (i.e. authentication has
been completed) then it should not be considered as a connection pool
candidate.
Better to use types whose size is unquestionably unambiguous
in plugin interfaces.
As on current platforms sizeof(int32_t) == sizeof(int) plugins
need not immediately be changed to return int32_t:s instead of
int:s.
