Fix MariaDB Version check/comparing

[Bodenhaltung]

Description

Checking and Comparing versions failed because of the output from mariadb -V changed in the past it is still broken for 10.x and 11.x.

11.x
mariadb -V
mariadb from 11.2.2-MariaDB, client 15.2 for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline EditLine wrapper

10.x
mariadb -V
mariadb  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.6-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

This PR fixed the issue for the latest, 11.x MariaDB Version.

In a perfect world there is a need for a version check for the version check?!

Hi @Bodenhaltung,

Thank you for the contribution but I think we should wait for this change.

Rationale:

It appears that MariaDB changed the version string from 10.x to 11.y:

preda@fedora:~$ docker run -it mariadb:10.5 /usr/bin/mariadb -V

/usr/bin/mariadb  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.7-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper
preda@fedora:~$ docker run -it mariadb:11.0 /usr/bin/mariadb -V
/usr/bin/mariadb from 11.0.5-MariaDB, client 15.2 for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper
preda@fedora:~$ docker run -it mariadb:11.1 /usr/bin/mariadb -V

/usr/bin/mariadb from 11.2.3-MariaDB, client 15.2 for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper
preda@fedora:~$ docker run -it mariadb:11.3-rc /usr/bin/mariadb -V
/usr/bin/mariadb from 11.3.1-MariaDB, client 15.2 for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

If you look at https://mariadb.org/download/ in section "Release schedule" you will see that

• versions 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 & 10.11 are long term releases
• versions 10.10, 11.y are short term releases
• version 11.4 is still under development and also marked as a short term release
• a long term release for 11.y series (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-server-release-dates/) is yet to come...

I think we should keep the role compatible w/ the latest long term release.
@mrlesmithjr && @elcomtik » thoughts?

[mrlesmithjr]

@eRadical - I do agree we should focus on supporting long-term releases.

[Bodenhaltung]

Ok, got your point(s), this PR was more self centered motivated like "works for me", I didn't research about long term releases. Sorry!

[eRadical]

No need for sorry.

If you can make a PR that considers 10.x and 11.y differently I think we can work w/ that.
We will just w8 4 a stable version of 11.y.
