Description:
Earlier versions used to set program_name='MySQLWorkbench' but 6.3.9 doesn't do that on Linux.

How to repeat:
Looking at the code the attribute is set correctly on Windows and macOS, but not on others (which is Linux)

commit ad250dd5b49f416036c1d19eac245751b2808eff

changed this:
-#if defined(__APPLE__) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(MYSQLCPPCONN_VERSION_1_1_4)
+#if defined(__APPLE__) || defined(_WIN32)

This was probably done because the 1.1.8 is now the minimal cppconn version.

Suggested fix:
Remove the ifdef

was omitted from Unix and Linux distributions. Thanks to Daniël van Eeden
