 Since a while WordPress is also able to work with MariaDB.

 People now use MariaDB for new sites or change their existing sites to
 MariaDB for various reasons.

 Currently `wp-config-sample.php` and also the instructions how to use it,
 contain many references to MySQL like `MySQL database username`, `MySQL
 hostname`, `Example MySQL username` etc.

 This leads to confusion, e.g. if MariaDB settings would be entered
 elsewhere or similar.

 All references to MySQL should be adjusted to a more general wording or
 have added MariaDB in some general descriptions like `MySQL settings - You
 can get this info from your web host`.
