Installing MariaDB 10 on CentOS 7

I have always used the stock install of MariaDB that came with CentOS 7, but I noticed recently that it is still only on 5.5 (at the time of writing, 5.5.60).

I never had any issues with it, until I tried to upgrade my Liferay CMS system. Apparently there are definite changes that are not incorporated into the 5.5.

I wished to moved to 10.3, which is the latest stable branch, and I can apparently do that (as indicated on the mariadb website1) by creating a MariaDB repository for DNF and then installing as usual.

Of course, first uninstall the 5.5 version.
