Hello pkg-mysql team!

I've been thinking that the naming of the test suite packages should
be uniform. In MariaDB it is callled mariadb-test and in MySQL it is
called mysql-testsuite.

What do you think of renaming mariadb-test to mariadb-testsuite?

Also the testsuite contains a lot of plain text files, up to 70% of
the filesize. I was also thinking of splitting mariadb-testsuite into
the arch dependant -testsuite and arch independent -testsuite-data.

What do you think about that?



I have already split the contents of libmariadb-dev into libmariadbd
and libmariadbd-dev, so I might as well do some other package splits
and renames while I am at it.
