fix: add turn on mysql-native-password authentication plugin to fix broken connection for users upgrading from Tutor 15 or earlier (#1090)

* fix: add --mysql-native-password=ON param to fix broken connection, fixes #1089
For tutor instances that were created with tutor 15 and earlier and then upgraded to tutor 18, the launch process would fail as MySQL connection could not be made. This is because mysql-native-password was removed in MySQL 8.4.0. We turn it on temporarily to fix failing connections.
