Missing client_ed25519.so plugin

[Samuel Harmer]

Although `apt install mariadb-server` results in the auth_ed25519.so plugin being installed, `apt install mariadb-client` *doesn't* provide the equivalent client_ed25519.so, resulting in the ability to set a password with the -server package, that can't be accessed with just the -client package.

The client_ed25519.so library can be found in libmariadbclient18 but this package is only depended on by the a development package (libmariadbclient-dev) and a test package (mariadb-test). Furthermore, due to the name of libmariadbclient18 it doesn't appear alongside mariadb-*.

The minimum bug I am proposing is that the virtual package mariadb-client (or the versioned real package) should at least Suggest (if not Recommend) the libmariadbclient18 package. I might also suggest that the plugin libraries live in a separate -plugin package; although I appreciate there seem to be too many different mariadb packages already, so including the -client plugins in the -client package would make sense too.
