Title: mysql::client fix for https://gist.github.com/1502634

While provisioning a VM using Vagrant and chef-solo, the libmysql-ruby
package was not installing the files where expected. As a result, using
the mysql provider in the opscode database cookbook would fail stating:
"LoadError: no such file to load -- mysql".

To fix this, we remove the package install under debian and ubuntu.
Instead, we allow it to be installed via a gem.
