Feature: Improve error reporting, include MySQL URI and socket error codes in all connection errors. (#141 by @clue and #138 by @SimonFrings)

For most common use cases this means that simply reporting the Exception message should give the most relevant details for any connection issues:

$db->query($sql)->then(function (React\MySQL\QueryResult $result) {
    // …
}, function (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error:' . $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
});

Feature: Full support for PHP 8.1 release. (#150 by @clue)

Feature: Provide limited support for NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES SQL mode. (#139 by @clue)
