fix: MySQL health checks need to happen over TCP (#1207)

By using the correct health check (TCP, rather than UNIX socket) we can get
rid of the 10 second sleep.

See docker-library/mysql#930 for discussion of
health checks.

This commit also simplifies the wait-for-mysql code in the provisioning script.
