Bug#917303: Request for help with MariaDB 10.3 / libdbd-mysql-perl packaging

[Georg Richter]

Hi Otto,

it doesn't make sense to zero a pointer, if the container (or speaking of
C: structure) is freed afterwards. The documentation clearly states, that a
handle (which was previously freed by mysql_close() ) needs to be
initialized again.

The pull request fixes the perl test case, but it didn't fix perl itself,
which still abuses internal members of the connector, which are considered
to be opaque. (And being opaque is the goal for next major release).

/Georg
