@szaimen This PR aims at informing MySQL 5.7 users that they have the choice between MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.2+. The MariaDB warning you reference is only for users that use an outdated MariaDB version and isn't shown for MySQL 5.7 users. |

@caugner you should then also advertise MariaDB users that use MySQL 8 is also an option ;) |

@acsfer The MariaDB warning is only shown for versions 10.1 and earlier, which are beyond their EOL, whereas MySQL 5.7 is still maintained and receives updates until 2023. So yes, we could surely add MySQL to the MariaDB warning, but I don't really think it's necessary. I would argue that most MariaDB users already know about MySQL as an alternative. |

Nextcloud warns if MySQL 5.7 is installed, as this version is no longer (officially) supported by Nextcloud 21.
Some hosters (like ALL-INKL) don't offer MySQL 8.0 yet, but offer MariaDB 10.2+ as an alternative instead. However, users of these hosters can only find out about Nextcloud's compatibility with MariaDB via the System requirements in the Administration manual.
This change informs users about the alternative by mentioning MariaDB directly in the warning.
PS: It might also make sense to link to the System requirements from all three warnings (MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
