Disable the 'mysql*' command deprecation warning
Many command-line tools expect the commands they run to return without
any output in stderr or having error codes. The fact that now in MariaDB
11.4 all 'mysql*' commands emit a deprecation warning causes a lot of
scripts to fail, such as the /etc/init.d/mariadb itself and many dependent
programs as witnessed via Debian autopkgtests. See examples below.

Show banner in server and client startup to drive community engagement
Suggest to users that they can support MariaDB development by simply giving a
star on GitHub. This patch experiments with how well such a banner works, and
may later change the contents to drive some other kind of engagement.

confusion, as well as sync other misc Debian packaging improvements from
upstream

* Make mariadb-test-run logs more informative to make debugging failures
in Debian/Ubuntu build and autopkgtest logs easier

and ensure all the mariadb-test-run skip lists are current
* Add tentative upstream patch to fix main.mysqld--help-aria test failure
* Add upstream patch to fix test innodb_log_file_size failures
* Add upstream patch to fix test innodb.log_corruption_recovery failures
