Description:
During the build process, if the --with-mysql-api option is given, C/Py checks the MySQL version number, and fails if the final version component has nonnumeric characters.

How to repeat:
My installed version of MySQL is "5.7.6-m16"

% python setup.py build_ext --with-mysql-capi=/usr/local/mysql
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):

    info['version'] = tuple([int(v) for v in info['version'].split('.')[0:3]])
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '6-m16'

If I point --with-mysql-capi at my 5.6.24 installation, it works, presumably because that version number has no nonnumeric suffix.

Suggested fix:
Version splitter needs to be a little smarter?

Noted in 2.1.12 changelog.

The Connector/Python version checker for MySQL did not handle
nonnumeric suffixes. During the build process, if the
--with-mysql-api option was given, the check failed for installed
versions of MySQL such as 5.7.6-m16.
