Add installer for mysql (mariadb)

[coolaj86]

The last time I tried to add MariaDB they just didn't have capacity for direct downloads. According to the notice on https://mariadb.org/download/?t=mariadb&p=mariadb&r=11.3.0, it appears that they now do.

The name should be mariadb and there should be additional aliases for mariadbd, mysql, and mysqld.

This has multiple components which could be performed by multiple people:

1. Create the Cheat Sheet

• How to initialize
• How to add a user
• How to run a backup
• How to restore a backup
• How to enable secure remote connections

(I have some of this already which I can put in a gist for whoever takes this task)

2. Create a releases.js from the MariaDB API

https://mariadb.org/downloads-rest-api/

This will be very similar to go/releases.js - iterating over the releases and producing an object similar to this:

{
          version: "10.11.5",
          // long-term support if EOL date is >= 3 years from the release date
          lts: true,
          channel: 'stable', // or 'beta' or 'nightly'
          date: '1970-01-01', // part of file info
          os: "macos", // or "linux" or "windows" or "bsd"
          arch: "amd64", // or "arm64"
          ext: '', // let normalize run the split/test/join
          hash: '', // "sha2:xxxxx"
          download: '', // the url
}

This browser extension will be helpful:

3. Copy/Find/Replace on install.sh and install.ps1

Most likely the postgres or go installers will be a good source to copy from.

I actually had an installer sometime in the last few years. The branch may still exist on the backup of the old beta site.
