Issue description

typeorm peerDependencies doesn't support latest mysql2 3.x

Expected Behavior

https://typeorm.io/#installation says

you can install mysql2 instead as well

mysql2 recently released version 3.x which I'd expect to be able to use.

Actual Behavior

npm install results in errors:

Steps to reproduce

Try running npm install with the following dependencies specified:

{
  "mysql2": "3.0.1",
  "typeorm": "0.3.11"
}

My Environment

Additional Context

If I run npm install --legacy-peer-deps then my app/typeorm appears to run fine.
