 Description   

We should document how to safely disable InnoDB encryption in a standalone MariaDB server environment. It is not currently documented:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/data-at-rest-encryption/

I suspect that the process would go like this:

1.) Make sure that all Aria tables are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17268.

2.) Make sure that all InnoDB tables are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17269.

3.) Make sure that InnoDB redo logs are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17270.

4.) Make sure that binary logs are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17271.

5.) Uninstall key management plugins, if desired.
