Add docs for mysql
caching_sha2_password
default
In December 2021 we began work to update our database versions. One target of this work was to upgrade from MySQL v5.5 to v8. For example [see whitehall here](#546) MySQL 8.0 contains a plugin "[Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/caching-sha2-pluggable-authentication.html)" that implements SHA-256 hashing for user account passwords. In MySQL 8.0 `caching_sha2_password` was made the default over the previous `mysql_native_password`. `caching_sha2_password` requires a secure connection or an unencrypted connection that supports password exchange using an RSA key pair, which `govuk-docker` is not currently set up to provide.
