According to the documentation (but also setup.py) the minimum
required version of MariaDB Connector/C is 3.1.5. Since extended
field_types were added in 3.1,8, we need to check the version
of MariaDB Connector/C.
The connect() method now accepts an addtional parameter
converter which points to a dictionary, containing one or more conversions.
A conversion must be specified in the form {FIELD_TYOE : conversion_function}
Beginning of MariaDB 10.5 metadata for JSON columns is stored
in extended field information, and the reported type is MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB.
We now check extended field information to return correct type and for
fetching values in correct format.
When a value is returned as binary type (BLOB) but has a non binary collation,
it will be converted now as a unicode string and the binary flag will be ignored.
