Feature Request: Install MySQL instead of MariaDB

[devilstars]

Describe the problem:

Still in 2021-01 with MariaDB, JSON is still just an alias for LONGTEXT, they don't have a proper JSON datatype - but MySQL has supported it since 2015-08

Is it possible to install MySQL (5.7 or 8) instead of MariaDB in Debian 10?

Steps to Reproduce:

Install myVesta on Debian 10

Debian version:

Type here, example: Debian 10

VestaCP Version:

Latest

maybe PErcona server its better option, percona has long time support for older version

also percona still support older versions of debian
