Description

Currently, if using Guacamole's MySQL / MariaDB support, Guacamole will assume that the MySQL version of "Connector/J" is installed unless this is overridden with the mysql-driver property within guacamole.properties:

mysql-driver: mariadb

Since the MariaDB driver uses a different Java class, it should be possible to automatically detect the installed driver. The mysql-driver property would then only be required if this automatic detection somehow fails.
