This commit contains all previous work after rebase went badly
RE: Pull Request requested by @kjdelisle regarding #149 following my
proposed solution "A" at #149 (comment).
As mentioned in the post linked above, this change allows the
underlying mysqljs/mysql module to handle Date object serialization
and removes the forced conversion of Dates to UTC Strings.
An opt-out fallback to forced coercion to UTC is included,
which was modeled after #265 from @darknos .

Per MySQL docs
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/date-and-time-types.html):
"MySQL permits you to store a “zero” value of '0000-00-00' as a
“dummy date.” This is in some cases more convenient than using NULL
values, and uses less data and index space. To disallow '0000-00-00',
enable the NO_ZERO_DATE mode.
“Zero” date or time values used through Connector/ODBC are converted
automatically to NULL because ODBC cannot handle such values."
As we are not using Connector/ODBC we need to handle this ourself.
Use `SqlConnector` from loopback-connector as the base class for the
MySQL connector.
Use `dataSource.modelBuilder` instead of `juggler.ModelBuilder` to
access the function for registering new schema type.
Note: the behaviour remains backwards compatible, the connector can be
used with both old 1.x and upcoming 2.x versions of
loopback-datasource-juggler.
