Enable MySQL Connector driver
Current MySQL client library we use (MySQLdb) plays bad with eventlet and may result in db deadlocks [1]. It also blocks execution of other green threads while we're deep in the library code [2]. To avoid those issues, we need to switch to a pure python library with better eventlet support. MySQL Connector is an official mysql python client library and has the needed qualities.

Whiteboard
Obsoleted the spec since the plan now is to adopt pymysql. The infrastructure work to support alternatibe db drivers is mostly done anyway, so it's no reason to leave the spec opened.
