Patch to allow compilation of jabberd with MariaDB 10.2

Trying to build jabberd with the new version of MariaDB 10.2 causes a build error:

storage_mysql.c:616:9: error: 'MYSQL {aka struct st_mysql}' has no member named 'reconnect'
     conn->reconnect = 1;
         ^~
authreg_mysql.c: In function 'ar_init':
authreg_mysql.c:631:9: error: 'MYSQL {aka struct st_mysql}' has no member named 'reconnect'
     conn->reconnect = 1;
         ^~

In this new version of the library the reconnect field was moved to another struct. I think that the best approach is to set it through API. I attached a patch proposal to fix the problem.

We are tracking all the possible problems regarding this MariaDB upgrade in the bug 1467297.
