Description:
The error reported when the TCP/IP port is not an integer is unclear. We need to raise a clearer error message.

How to repeat:
>>> import mysql.connector
>>> cnx = mysql.connector.connect(port="33110")
Traceback (most recent call last):
..
mysql.connector.errors.InterfaceError: an integer is required

Suggested fix:
Raise a better error message

Added to changelog for 1.0.8: 

The error message was clarified when a non-integer value was used for
the TCP/IP port connection argument.
