Per http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/numeric-type-overview.html
`BOOL` and `BOOLEAN` is alias for `TINYINT(1)` thus we should make
sure discover can handle as such.
Introducing three flags:
* treatCHAR1AsString
default false - treats CHAR(1) as a String instead of a Boolean
* treatBIT1AsBit
default true - treats BIT(1) as a Boolean instead of a Binary
* treatTINYINT1AsTinyInt
default true - treats TINYINT(1) as a Boolean instead of a Number
The default handling for CHAR(1) is legacy backward compability due to
custom to use a CHAR(1) to store 'Y', 'N', '0', '1', etc...
The issue is with the Discovery of Models. MYSQL Fields of Type 'POINT' are being discovered but loopback LDL model field provided by discovery functions is being of type 'String'.
missing code: case 'POINT': return 'GeoPoint';
