Description:
Adding a long SQL string to a java.sql.Statement batch will cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the length of the SQL statement is greater than the configured value of maxAllowedPacket.

A calculation is performed at https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j/blob/release/8.0/src/main/user-impl/java/com/my... to determine if the next query will exceed the value of maxAllowedPacket.

If so, then the current query buffer is executed and the query buffer is reset. 

However, the current query buffer is empty if the first batched SQL statement size calculation exceeds maxAllowedPacket.

The execution of the empty query causes the "counter" variable to be incremented beyond the length of the "updateCounts" array when calling processMultiCountsAndKeys and assigning the returned value to the "count" variable.

When the subsequent execution of the actual SQL statement occurs and processMultiCountsAndKeys is called again using the previously incremented "count" variable, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.

In our case, at StatementImpl line 998:
- the character encoding passed to the driver is UTF-8, which makes numberOfBytesPerChar=3
- the value of maxAllowedPacket is 1048576, which the driver is providing as the default

The attached test case illustrates the issue.

                statement.executeBatch();

    }
}

Suggested fix:
At https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j/blob/release/8.0/src/main/user-impl/java/com/my..., add a check to ensure queryBuf is not empty as part of the condition for executing.
