Migrating from SQLite to MariaDB

[Maik Qualmann]

Yes, only the digiKam core database will be migrated. All other databases are 
rebuilt, the thumbnail database during use or by the maintenance tool. The 
face database with the maintenance tool and the option to rebuild the training 
data, the similarity database also via the maintenance tool and rebuild the 
fingerprints.
