Description:
Because the client library header files are split up between include/mysql and include/mysql/mysql, building against it will fail unless include/mysql is added to the default include path.

This can be fixed by packages using pkg-config or mysql-config, but ideally this would not be necessary.

How to repeat:
* Find a package that builds against libmysqlclient, such as anope on Ubuntu
* Try to build the package from source and observe failure to find plugin_auth_common.h

Copies three files from the internal include path to the outer one

Noted in 5.7.13 changelog.

Compiling of clients that used the MySQL C API could fail if they 
used an obsolete path to mysql.h or and did not set the include path.
This was due to use of #include <file_name> notation rather than
#include "file_name" in internal MySQL header files, which have been
adjusted.
