safety first - tell mariadb client not to execute dangerous
cli commands, they cannot be present in the dump anyway.
wrapping the command in /*!999999 ..... */ guarantees that
if a non-mariadb-cli client loads the dump and sends it to the
server - the server will ignore the command it doesn't understand
mysql --sandbox
disables system (\!), tee (\T), pager with an argument(\P foo), source (\.)
does *not* disable edit (\e). Use EDITOR=/bin/false to disable
or, for example, EDITOR=rnano for something more useful
does *not* disable pager (\P) without an argument. Use
PAGER=cat or, for example PAGER=less LESSSECURE=1 for something
more useful
using a disabled command is an error, which can be ignored with --force
Also, a "sandbox" command (\-) - enables the sandbox mode until EOF
(current file or the session, if interactive)
For compatibility reasons, add the option to the MariaDB client without
any functional changes besides simply accepting the option and emitting
a warning that it is obsolete.
In MySQL this security related option is compulsory in certain use
cases. When users switch to MariaDB, this client command that used to
work starts failing without a sensible error message. In worst case
users resort to re-installing the mysql client from MySQL.
In MariaDB the option is obsolete and should simply be ignored. Users
however don't have any opportunity to learn that unless the client
program tells them so.
Before:
mysql --enable-cleartext-plugin ...
mysql: unknown option '--enable-cleartext-plugin'
(program terminates)
After:
mysql --enable-cleartext-plugin ...
WARNING: option '--enable-cleartext-plugin' is obsolete.
(program executes)

This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
