This cherry-picked from 346c7af on 'main' with the intent of having PR#4262 applied on 10.11 now, and thus on all branches maintained for the next 6 months or more. I am excluding 10.6 as it is EOL soon.

This is similar to #4262 but without the SERVER_MATURITY_LEVEL limit in order to actually show the message to users in stable releases.

Ask users to give MariaDB a star by having an extra line in the MariaDB
client prompt:

    Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
    Your MariaDB connection id is X
    Server version: Y
    Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

    Help others discover MariaDB. Star it on GitHub: https://github.com/MariaDB/server

    Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

    MariaDB [(none)]>

Additionally, have this extra line in server logs:

    [Note] Help others discover MariaDB. Star it on GitHub: https://github.com/MariaDB/server

Test file updated with:
nano --noconvert --nonewlines mysql-test/main/mysql-interactive.result

This change is similar to 346c7af
applied on 'main', but without the SERVER_MATURITY_LEVEL check in order
to have this text visible in stable releases and actually help get the
GitHub star count up.
