Deb: rename client library packages to reflect its contents
The new library name libmariadb3 matches the libmariadb.so.3 filename. Packages that want to build against MariaDB Connector C have as build-dependency libmariadb-dev and as run-time dependency libmariadb3. Make the package provide libmariadbclient18 for backwards compatibility, though compatibility is not always assured. There library did change to a whole new generation after all, even though ABI compatibility has been a design goal. Also do the equivalent change for the -dev package. Packages that explicitly want to use the MariaDB Connector C should mark it as their build-depends. Also provide an empty libmariadbclient18 metapackage to facilitate upgrades from old MariaDB installs, just like there is an empty libmysqlclient18 package. Create more of these in the future as needed.
