Add that slaves set a variable @mariadb_slave_capability to

I'm not sure I like the idea of magic user variables. Why wouldn't
you create a session server variable @@mariadb_slave_capability?
I'll admit I did not think much about it, I just did it the same way
that other replication features are announced by slaves to the master,
eg. @master_binlog_checksum or @master_heartbeat_period.
Okay, let's keep it consistent :(

Thanks for your replies!
