Title: Improve MySQL and backslash escape handling

This PR provides the ability to configure how jOOQ handles backslash escaping when dealing with MySQL databases. The PR provides three options:
* Assume that the database is not configured with NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES and always escape backslashes.
* Assume that the database is configured with NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES and don't escape backslashes (current behavior).
* Don't assume anything. Set NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES at the connection level. Don't escape backslashes.
