By default, the tests from the libmariadb (aka MariaDB Connector/C) are
built and run as part of the Unit testing.
To disable them, you need to add -DSKIP_TESTS=ON to your cmake command. 
I know the option is vague and not easy to spot, but this will return
the Unit Tests for the server to how they were in 10.1 and earlier.
