Enable creation of MariaDB databases as well as MySQL 8
As an administrator of a wiki farm and news site using MariaDB 10.11, I want to be able to spin up instances of MariaDB LTS (10.11, soon 11.4) so that I can replicate my data set globally without compatibility issues.
MariaDB is the standard for a MySQL-compatible syntax DB in Debian, Slackware and SUSE Enterprise Linux. The two have diverged in features and are no longer binlog-compatible - MySQL 8.0.34 also deprecated statement replication, making it increasingly difficult to go the other way.
