### MySQL/MariaDB database directory format support
**Length**: 40 hours<br />
**Skills required**: Python, Linux, MySQL/MariaDB<br />
**Description**: Today borgmatic supports dumping MySQL/MariaDB databases directly to Borg for backup purposes and also restoring them directly from Borg. However, borgmatic does not support the MySQL/MariaDB "directory" format for database dumps currently.
**Task outline**: Implement a new "directory" value for the existing MySQL/MariaDB "format" configuration options. When that's set, pass the relevant option to `mysqldump` so that database dumps are dumped into a directory instead of as a single file. Note that this will have to bypass the existing streaming to named pipe logic since a directory can't be streamed that way. Also note that there are separate MySQL and MariaDB hooks, which would both need similar updates to support this feature.

**Additional details**: Look at the existing PostgreSQL hook for an example of a database hook that supports both streaming database dumps and non-streaming directory format database dumps. You can probably take a similar approach with this MySQL/MariaDB work.
