Description:
Legacy mode for security in MySQL 8 must be used to allow 32bit applications access. 

32bit applications are still present and needed

The latest Connector/C (libmysqlclient) version available is 6.1.1 however the MySQL 8 64bit version reports file version 8.

How to repeat:
Do not enable legacy mode and try to connect a 32bit application. Also see Bug #90668 as this is a similar issue but for ODBC highlighting the need for 32bit applications.

Suggested fix:
Make a 32bit version of Connector/C (libmysqlclient) available

Does not include a new connector/c, libmySQL.dll version still 6.1
