Sapp mysql client

[mouseboyx 149]

DLL that can be loaded and used to perform mysql queries from a sapp lua script

I had fun learning from ChatGPT to try to make this work.  I learned a little bit about thread safety and how to use a C++ mutex to lock a function.  And how to return a pointer to an instance of a C++ class to lua's strictly C ffi implementation by casting it as a void pointer.  The C++ sources for this dll are a great resource to learn from to implement other functionality like this in the future.

Not sure if you already know about them or if it'll even be helpful to you in this case, but if mutexes and threads really tickled your pickle you should also look at semaphores. C++ provides libraries for 2 types. Unlike mutexes, semaphores are not tied to the thread of execution.
