This works on Linux and on Windows, with rpm/deb/tar.gz/zip installations. For rpm/deb it just works, for tar.gz/zip there is no standard location, so one needs to configure plugin with -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/pah/to/mariadb/basedir after that, `cmake --install .` works too, installing in the same basedir. `cmake --build . --target package` works, creating rpm/deb/targz/zip depending on whether it's Linux or Windows and whether -DRPM or -DDEB was specified. * create and install mariadb-plugin-config.cmake * for now it only supports one plugin per project, error out if there are many * deb: move all headers that plugins need to libmariadb-dev, together with libmysqlservices.a. At least until we'll create mariadb-plugin-dev. Nobody should need huge libmariadbd-dev to develop a plugin * rpm: all in MariaDB-devel already, no changes here * install wsrep headers too, THD layout depends on WITH_WSREP * show DBUG_OFF, ENABLED_DEBUG_SYNC, and SAFE_MUTEX to plugins, same reason (it doesn't happen automatically as they're not in my_config.h) * but don't install config.h - high chance of name conflict with other projects and it's an exact copy of my_config.h anyway. * adjust plugin.cmake to work for external plugins * move server-internal part of it to top-level CMakeLists.txt * remove double-defined macros from unireg.h (the guard doesn't help if unireg.h is included first) * package plugin metadata as yaml in .tar.gz/.zip ColumnStore, until fixed, needs a backward-compatibility workaround

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
