Log message:
mariadb118: Initial import

MariaDB 11.8 is a long-term release series, maintained until Jun 2028.

Notable features since 11.4, the last LTS branch:

- aarch64 SIMD instructions now supported in Vectors
- Optimizer improvements
- Configure limits on sizes of temporary files
- Y2038 support for TIMESTAMP values on 64-bit platforms
- Added the --dir option to mariadb-import, allowing one to restore all
  tables from a backup directory created using mariadb-dump --dir
- The mariadb-dump --no-autocommit option is now set by default to allow
  faster data loading by InnoDB, writing only one undo log for the whole
  operation
- mariadb-import has a new option, --innodb-optimize-keys to delay
  creation of secondary indexes
- New USERS table in the Information Schema for storing information
  about users
- More columns in Information Schema for greater observability
- SESSION_USER(), which used to be an alias for USER() now shows the value
  of CURRENT_USER() when the session was created

pkgsrc-specific notes:

- This has been verified to build successfully on NetBSD, FreeBSD,
   OpenBSD, macOS (arm & x86), Linux. SunOS tests should happen.
- This now requires a C++17 compiler instead of a C++11 compiler.
- Care should be taken before switching the default MariaDB version
  for the above reasons.
- The new PARSEC plugin is disabled by default to avoid PLIST troubles -
  it depends on specific features added in a specific version of OpenSSL.
