Description
For MySQL compatibility and simply because it's better MariaDB should change the terminology and code around "virtual columns" as follows:
- use "generated", not "virtual" or "computed" in error messages
- use GENERATED ALWAYS AS in SHOW CREATE TABLE
- use STORED, not PERSISTENT
- show VIRTUAL GENERATED and STORED GENERATED (not PERSISTENT) in SHOW FIELDS
- update the manual accordingly
- rename ER_.... constants accordingly (but keep compatibility aliases)
- this task does not cover changing the code, like renaming methods and variables
