Commit introduces automatic detection which supported
Perl MariaDB DBI driver is available:
* DBD::mysql
* DBD::MariaDB
If nothing is then bail out and die
Current Detection prefers Perl DBD:MariaDB driver.
This is mainly for older Linux distros or Windows which does not
have Perl DBD:MariaDB packaged or does not want to use Perl cpan command.

Debian script debian-start upgrades database (which can be huge)
and prints lots of unnecessary information (not errors). Add
'--silent' to only sport possible errors
Remove version suffix from Debian packages (for example mariadb-server-10.9)
because installing suffixed package removes older version
of package even if it's suffixed (for example mariadb-server-10.7)
This make also Debian package management easier in future MariaDB
version iterations because there is no need for stacking
Conlicts/Breaks/Replaces-parameters in every new major release
There's no need for Debian to set config items to their
default. Left commented user, datadir and tmpdir as
these may want to be changed. lc-messages and skip-external-locks
are so infrequently set even listing them looks overly verbose.
socket left uncommented in [client-server] as various client
implementations may have different defaults compiled in.
