Add MySQL JSON reference to ActiveRecord::Store documentation
The current documentation explicitly mentions only PostgreSQL (hstore/json) for use with `.store_accessor`, making it somewhat confusing what to choose on a MySQL 5.7+ setup (which introduced a json data type).

# You can set custom coder to encode/decode your serialized attributes to/from different formats.
# JSON, YAML, Marshal are supported out of the box. Generally it can be any wrapper that provides +load+ and +dump+.

- # NOTE: If you are using PostgreSQL specific columns like +hstore+ or +json+ there is no need for
- # the serialization provided by {.store}[rdoc-ref:rdoc-ref:ClassMethods#store].
+ # NOTE: If you are using structured database data types (eg. PostgreSQL +hstore+/+json+, or MySQL 5.7+
+ # +json+) there is no need for the serialization provided by {.store}[rdoc-ref:rdoc-ref:ClassMethods#store].
# Simply use {.store_accessor}[rdoc-ref:ClassMethods#store_accessor] instead to generate
# the accessor methods. Be aware that these columns use a string keyed hash and do not allow access
# using a symbol.
