Description:
Connector test suite fails when running against MySQL Server 5.5 in ps_bugs test:

When executing an explain table statement MySQL Server 5.5 returns in metadatasdb_name "information_schema"  instead of an empty string in prior versions.

How to repeat:
mysql -uroot test --column-types-info

mysql> explain test_select;                        
Field   1:  `Field`                                
Catalog:    `def`                                  
Database:   `information_schema`                   
Table:      `COLUMNS`                              
Org_table:  `COLUMNS`                              
Type:       VAR_STRING                             
Collation:  latin1_swedish_ci (8)                  
Length:     64                                     
Max_length: 10                                     
Decimals:   0

Suggested fix:
Add a check for mysql_get_server_version
