[debian-mysql] Bug#1024241: libmariadb-dev-compat: mysqlclient.pc lies about the version

Package: libmariadb-dev-compat
Version: 1:10.6.11-1

$ mysql_config --version
10.6.11
$ grep ^Version /usr/lib/*/pkgconfig/mysqlclient.pc
Version: 3.3.3
$

The version presented in mysqlclient.pc is utterly outdated. This breaks
applications that need a more recent version than that and prefer
pkg-config over mysql_config.

I think that mysql_config and pkg-config should report the same version.
