Add support for building against libmysqlclient that lacks THR_KEY_mysys

In certain distributions (specifically Fedora 15 and later), maintainers
limit the number of visible symbols. If THR_KEY_mysys is hidden, then we
try to create the TLS keys in such an order that it results in the correct
behavior. And then hope for the best.
