[5.2] Bug 868869: Require MySQL 5.6

[justdave]

• Require MySQL 5.6.12 for InnoDB Fulltext support
• ~~Blocklist MySQL 8+ for groups issue~~
• Independently require MariaDB 10+ for InnoDB fulltext support

~~See Bug 1851354~~ See Bug 868869

Dylan reviewed a different version of this patch that was attached to the bug. The previous version did not have the MySQL version bump (which should have happened in version 5.0.5 and didn't) or the auto-detection of MariaDB.

Should this be closed since a fix from #153 has been merged into 5.2 branch?

Yes but... some pieces of it need to get merged into #106 first.

[justdave]

Actually, the "require MySQL 5.6" part still needs to land, we just need to drop the "Blocklist MySQL 8" part.

[bovine]

The summary of bug 1851354 still reads only "Blocklist MySQL 8.0 and newer in checksetup.pl"

[justdave]

Updated summary to point at Bug 868869 instead.

[justdave]

Moving this back to draft status for now, this needs changes in light of MySQL 8 support landing before this can land.
