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.

\fBmysqlaccess\fR

tables\&. It does not check table, column, or routine privileges specified in the
tables_priv,
columns_priv, or
procs_priv
tables\&.

If your MariaDB distribution is installed in some non\-standard location, you must change the location where
\fBmysqlaccess\fR
expects to find the
\fBmysql\fR
client\&. Edit the
mysqlaccess
script at approximately line 18\&. Search for a line that looks like this:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$MYSQL = '/usr/local/bin/mysql'; # path to mysql executable
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Change the path to reflect the location where
\fBmysql\fR
actually is stored on your system\&. If you do not do this, a
Broken pipe
error will occur when you run
\fBmysqlaccess\fR\&.
