convert to using MySQL instead of txt files

Change the sensor reader script to write to a MySQL DB instead of a text
file. The MySQL DB can be accessed by an app if a web server is
provided, and it can do all the heavy lifting associated with sorting
data for us. so that we don't need to do it on the app side.

Also add a helper file in which to add all MySQL related functionality.
