change to use DBD-MariaDB which needs addressing.

+# zoneminder needs a database.  While the longstanding approach is
+# mysql, it's become normal to use mariadb instead.  p5-DBD-mysql used
+# to talk to mariadb just fine, but now it doesn't.  zoneminder has
+# improved DB type selection to deal with this and use p5-DBD-mariadb
+# instead.
