Refer to mysql2 instead of mysql for Node.js

[Zenulous]

The Mysql npm package has not been updated in years. Consider referring to https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2 instead.

Seems like GitHub mobile got rid of the initial document details 🤔

Hi @savjani,

Could you please look into this document update request for package update at the link: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql

FYI it's not like mysql is broken but after playing around with it this seems heavily outdated. For example mysql does not support promises and mysql2 does 😄

Thank you @Zenulous for the suggestion! The node.js quickstarts have been updated accordingly.
