Investigate alternatives to mysql
[GOAL]
Include alternatives to MySQL in Ubuntu for evaluation prior to the next LTS release.
[RATIONALE]
MySQL has/is rock solid and provides a sound foundation as a relational database for Ubuntu.
However, MySQL derivatives offer some interesting features and the potential to work more openly with a MySQL compatible upstream.
We should help get MariaDB and Percona into Debian/Ubuntu so we can review the default for 14.04.
