No backup_history saved, mariabackup seg faults

Installed via rpm, the mariadb-server quits recording backup entries in the mariadb_backup_history table when mariabackup is run using --history or --incremental-history-name parameters. When server version is < 10.11.13, the backup simply fails. Starting with 10.11.13, mariabackup seg faults when attempting a backup using these parameters. The same issue exists in the 11.4 branch starting with 11.4.7 I believe.

It seems there are two issues here:
1. backup history isn't logged in the mariadb_backup_history table anymore. I couldn't find any notes on this which seems to have started in 10.11.5.
2. mariabackup seg faults in this same scenario starting in 10.11.13. Although it is mariadb crashing, downgrading the server one minor version to 10.11.11 fixes the seg fault but the backup still fails (gracefully) due to the mariadb_backup_history being empty.
