Bug #26344	MySqlDbType.Datetime should be MySqlDbType.DateTime

Description:
To be consistent with the .NET framework DateTime class, as well as the SqlClient's
DateTime type, it would be nice if the MySQL type would be cased the same (capital 'D'
and 'T').

The entire library should follow Microsoft .NET design guidelines.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
It might be too late to make this change, but .NET allows multiple enums to have the same
underlying value, so this *could* be introduced without breaking existing code. However,
it might confuse users as to which they should use (even though they are both the same).

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

Fixed in 5.1.4

A note has been added to the 5.1.4 changelog: 

The MySqlDbType.Datetime has been replaced with MySqlDbType.DateTime. The old format has
been obsoleted

Connector 5.2.4 or 5.2.5 -- the vs2008 designer keeps inserting Datetime rather than
DateTime and thus this warning...

warning CS0618: 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.Datetime' is obsolete: 'The Datetime
enum value is obsolete.  Please use DateTime.'

Is this a problem on my machine?  I've had previous versions installed and uninstalled.
-- My previous version was 5.1.2
