To change all executables to have a mariadb name I had to:
- Do name changes in every CMakeLists.txt that produces executables
- CREATE_MARIADB_SYMLINK was removed and GET_SYMLINK added by Wlad to reuse the function in other places also
- The scripts/CMakeLists.txt could make use of GET_SYMLINK instead of introducing redundant code, but I thought I'll leave that for next release
- A lot of changes to debian/.install and debian/.links files due to swapping of real executable and symlink. I did not however change the name of the manpages, so the real name is still mysql there and mariadb are symlinks.
- The Windows part needed a change now when we made the executables mariadb -named. MSI (and ZIP) do not support symlinks and to not break backward compatibility we had to include mysql named binaries also. Done by Wlad
After the '.so' one is supposed to use the directory name, like we have
correctly in all old man pages:
mysql_client_test_embedded.1:.so man1/mysql_client_test.1
mysql_embedded.1:.so man1/mysql.1
mysqltest_embedded.1:.so man1/mysqltest.1
This change adds the 'man1/' component so the link has the correct format.
Actually using man links is a deprecated practice and using symlinks
would be better, but that can be fixed in a later commit.
From https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#manual-pages:
> If one man page needs to be accessible via several names it is better
> to use a symbolic link than the .so feature

Move tokuftdump and tokuft_logprint man pages to storage/tokudb.
The man pages are now part of tokudb-engine cmake component. This change
is mostly for RPM & DEB based packaging generated through CMake & CPack.
Debian upstream already handles this change via the custom scripts in debian/
post-merge fixes:
* .gitignore
* don't put the keyword COMPONENT into ${COMP} anymore
* don't alias mytop, but do alias mysql_client_test
* don't symlink manpages, use troff aliasing technique instead
(symlinked manpages break rpm and out-of-source bintar builds)
* move debian to use troff aliased manpages, fix typos in debian files,
put aliases in the correct packages, add more aliases to match
rpm/bintar packaging
