Bugzilla 5.0.6 REST interface fails after renaming table groups to groeps

We should have the MySQL 8 compatibility landed at the latest by the end 
of November (but probably much sooner). We gave some good patches for it 
now, they just need review and testing.

Version 5.2 should be coming out this weekend. It still won't have the 
MySQL 8 compatibility, but we will be landing it on that branch once 
it's ready.  5.0.x will not be getting that fix as it'll be considered 
too invasive for an older branch.  But since you already upgraded beyond 
5.0.4, you're essentially on the 5.2 version already (because 5.0.5 made 
invasive changes that it shouldn't have, and should have been 5.2 with 
those changes).

As far as your commit message goes...  what do you mean by "no longer 
works"? Are you getting an error? If so, what's the error? Is anything 
showing up in the logs on either end of the transaction?
