Document which version of Connector/C is bundled with each server version

    Description

      According to MDEV-9055, the server's libmysqlclient has already been mostly replaced with MariaDB Connector/C, starting with MariaDB Server 10.2.

      I think it would be helpful to have a documentation page somewhere that lists which version of MariaDB Connector/C is bundled with each version of MariaDB Server. I don't see anything like that on any of the following pages:

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-connector-c/

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/about-mariadb-connector-c/

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/list-of-mariadb-connectorc-releases/

      It might also be helpful for the release notes for a specific MariaDB Server version to mention what version of MariaDB Connector/C is bundled with that version. I don't see any mention of anything like that on any of the following pages:

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-10215-release-notes/

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-1037-release-notes/

      Having this information documented would probably be most helpful when users run into problems in the bundled clients or libraries (such as in MDEV-16396 / CONC-340), and they want to determine if the problem could be caused by a known bug in a specific version of Connector/C.
