Adam Harvey 65e697ff67 Officially deprecate ext/mysql in the manual.
Specific changes:

- Upgraded the soft deprecation sidebars to full blown warnings.
- Beefed up the wording of the soft deprecation notice boilerplate.
- Added changelog items for mysql_connect() and mysql_pconnect(), since they're
  the functions that have changed behaviour.
- Updated the MySQL changelog.
- Updated the 5.5 migration guide.
