Otto Kekäläinen 6f955c262a Fix syntax FB/FR -> fB/fR and bump version to 10.11 in man pages
For the sake of readable diffs this change is done separately from the
previous commit and it changes all man page headers to:

- Use correct syntax \fB and \fR to make titles bold instead of previous
  capitalized version that had no effect
- Omit unnecessary \&. syntax, works fine without it
- Bump version to 10.11

Ideally the version would automatically be inherited from the
build/release, but for now at least update it manually to match what is
in the VERSION file of this release branch.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBmysql_client_test\fR
program is used for testing aspects of the MariaDB client API that cannot be tested using
\fBmysqltest\fR
and its test language\&.
\fBmysql_client_test_embedded\fR
is similar but used for testing the embedded server\&. Both programs are run as part of the test suite\&.
.PP
The source code for the programs can be found in in
tests/mysql_client_test\&.c
in a source distribution\&. The program serves as a good source of examples illustrating how to use various features of the client API\&.
.PP
\fBmysql_client_test\fR
is used in a test by the same name in the main tests suite of
\fBmysql\-test\-run\&.pl\fR
but may also be run directly\&. Unlike the other programs listed here, it does not read an external description of what tests to run\&. Instead, all tests are coded into the program, which is written to cover all aspects of the C language API\&.
