I believe these are also imported in the tests/unit/test_mysql_driver_dialect.py file and tests/unit/test_mysql_driver_dialect.py file and tests/integration/container/test_blue_green_deployment.py - should those also be updated?

unit tests are updated in a separate PR #1030 so I am intentionally leaving them out here. I will update the integration test though, good catch

Description
The MySQLDriverDialect imports some classes there are only available if MySQL Connector/Python C Extension is available in the community driver. This is not necessarily always present on the customer's environment. In this case, the current behaviour would propagate an import error immediately and making the driver unusable.
This PR handles the case when C extension isn't available so it doesn't break customer's workflow.
