Thanks. This is now reported as https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12950

Yes, it was intentional, one is supposed to use

  mysql_options(mysql, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, ...);

this works both in libmysqlclient and in the new libmariadb and doesn't
depend on the internal MYSQL structure.

The effect of breaking python connector (and perl DBD-mysql) was
unintentional, though. At the moment I don't know what the fix will be -
e.g. we could temporarily restore mysql->reconnect. Or we could submit
patches to python and perl connectors to use MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT.
Or both. Or something else.
