Bug 219797: databases/py-MySQLdb with mariadb 10.2.6
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219797



--- Description ---
With Mariadb 10.2.6 the Connect/C is updated to ~3.0. This means the C
interface changed slightly and some functions are changed. 

I updated the _mysql.c and cleaned up the Makefile a bit. See review D11054 .

But since I only use the latest mariadb I'm not sure if it works with older
versions and MySQL. Also I don't know how exactly python C extensions work. So
maybe my patch is horribly wrong. 

Why is this port important? Because it's used by www/observium.
