Install pscale CLI

[lakruzz]

PlanetScale is a MySql compliant environment. The CLI is called pscale and has a dependency to the mysql CLI.

Much the same way GitHubs CLI gh has a dependency to the git cli.

Actually you'll find that pscale is built much on the same concept as gh - nice!

Now we need to setup the environment for use:

We're here on PlanetScale environment set up in the documentation.
