[midPoint] Installing MySQL Driver

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Eric,

you can put the driver into the /lib/ directory of the midPoint home.

Like here: 
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/MID/External+repository+demo 
(this is a part of the TIER midPoint dockerization 
<https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/MID/Dockerized+midPoint>).

Note that some of the featured described there are specific to upcoming 
3.9 version, but this driver placement should work for 3.8 as well.

Best regards,

After a lot of trial and error, the approach I found that worked was to add the driver jar to midpoint.war - and specifically adding it without compression (0 flag), using this command:
> jar uf0 ${MP_DIR}/lib/midpoint.war WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar
