I think we should use the vendor prefix "mariadb" instead of "maria"
(Maria was the previous name of the aria storage engine, but dynamic
columns work with all storage engines). This should be consistent for
all api functions.

mariadb_dyncol_[function_name] implies, that we are using a dynamic
column function for MariaDB.

For internal (non api functions) ma_ prefix is ok.
