support mysql-client-5.6 on ubuntu

[josephholsten]

I'm attempting to add mysql support to https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/sqitch, but sqitch requires mysql 5.6.4+.

I'm also trying to use https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/database, which uses https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/mysql-chef_gem to configure my connections.

So it would be lovely to have mysql::client support 5.6 on ubuntu.

#196 makes implementing this less painful

oh, here's a failing kitchen suite for you:

  - name: server56-client
    run_list:
    - recipe[mysql::server]
    - recipe[mysql::client]
    includes: [
      'ubuntu-14.04',
    ]
    attributes:
      mysql:
        version: '5.6'

Hi! Thanks for filing this issue... I'm going to track Ubuntu support in issue #208. I promise it'll work in 6.0 =)
