Description:
A model can only be synchronized with a database schema of the same name as the model.  The 'Select schemata' screen shows only one choice and it has to match the model name.

This is unnecessarily limiting and makes it difficult to work with several variations of a schema.

How to repeat:
Set up several schemata on a MySQL server.
Reverse engineer a model from one schema.
Select Database -> Synchronize Model...
Connect to database.
On 'Select Schemata' screen, only one schema will show.

Suggested fix:
The schema list is apparently populated from the model (see note on bug #55147).  Instead it should be retrieved directly from the database server.
