#API

createClient(socket) - create client from duplex stream (TODO: add default path to local server socket)
createTCPClient(host, port) - create tcp client, default host 127.0.0.1, port 3306
createUNIXClient(path) - connect to unix domain socket, default is /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

All commands fire 'end'() event at the end of command executing.

auth(db, user, pass) - perform mysql connection handshake. Should be always a first command (TODO: add default user/pass if missing?). Events: 'authorized'(serverStatus) event.
query(sql) - simple query. Events: 'field'(field) - one for each field description 'fields_eof'() - after last field 'row'(rows) - array of field values, fired for each row in result set
client.prepre(sql) - prepare a statement and store result in client.pscache Events: 'prepared'(preparedStatement) 'parameter'(field) - input parameter description
execute(sql, parameters) - parameters is an array of values. Known types are sent in appropriate mysql binary type (TODO: currently this is not true, type is always string and input converted using param.toString() ) Events: same as with query()
client.close - create and enqueue corresponding command
client.execute also adds prepare command if there is no cached statement and client.auto_prepare set to true (TODO: add better api than client.auto_prepare flag)
client.terminate - close conection immediately
