[debian-mysql] Preparing MariaDB 1:10.11.7-2 upload

[Daniel Black]

This is an important post release fix for PHP (and MariaDB nodejs,
possibly others) compatibility.

The alternative is to revert
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/2775 (like what I did in the
Docker Official Images), but that will only rectify default
installation.



Also Chroot approaches to armhf/armel are quite broken
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-32975. Reporting bugs as such
without a proper cross compilation is a major drain in resources
to build something that may not actually function correctly on real hardware.

env HOST_ARCH=armhf (or armel) appears to be the necessary bit to
trigger [cross compulation](https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/raw/master/salsa-ci.yml).

I attempted but failed:
https://salsa.debian.org/grooverdan/mariadb-server/-/pipelines/623885

I'm sure those with better Salsa skills (and the patience to carry it
out), will have better success.

Please avoid new upstream bugs on these platforms until this is fixed.
Update existing bug reports once you have a cross compilation going.
