Why not have non-conflicting library names? The APIs are different, so
it makes sense to have both libmysqlclient.so and
libmariadbclient.so. These can co-exist and applications can choose
which library to build against.

The solution that's currently implemented (bumping the version of the
original libmysqlclient.so from 18 to 1018) is a hack and not a
long-term solution.
