Drop testing for MariaDB 10.6

adamchainz · adamchainz · commit 8ac2680b02ef · 2026-06-22T22:52:43.000+01:00
Per [endoflife.date page](https://endoflife.date/mariadb), it’s nearly EOL (2026-07-06), and Django 6.1 does not support it (tests failing since #1197 with `django.db.utils.NotSupportedError: MariaDB 10.11 or later is required (found 10.6.27).`).
