add MySQLi driver

[rakucmr]

Why don't add MySQLi driver to the master branch, you already have it on 3.4 develop branch https://github.com/kohana/database/tree/3.4/develop/classes/Database

Because there is no 3.4 release yet.

I know that :) but why don't add the missing driver to the 3.3.3.1 release?

@Raku this might go into a 3.3.4 release.

@acoulton do you still think we should make a 3.3.4 release with the MySQLi driver for the database module as well as Redis and XCache drivers for the cache modules?

[rakucmr]

I already use it on 3.3.3.1, I've just copied the missing driver files.

[acoulton]

@enov yes, I think a 3.3.4 is a good idea, and would be good to add this.

I solved this trouble by next way (i am not on 3.4 ofc):

Where is "modules/coll3ctor" - my own module with my helpers, views, etc. So, MySQLi files in my module, and Kohana understand that and correctly use mysqli extension. And, of course, database module not touched.

And, ofc, by this way you can use MySQLi driver in your config/database.php
