Description
In the Product team we'd like to know whether users are using MySQL or MariaDB, because we're seeing some issues with MariaDB. Currently, the stats only show us the database driver (e.g. pdo_mysql or mysqli), but not the actual database type (MySQL/MariaDB). Please add a property $dbType to the Stats entity.

Research direction
Start with src/Entity/Stats.php, the linked Stats entity, and trace where the existing database driver statistic is populated. Add the database type information so MySQL and MariaDB are distinguishable, then run the project's available tests and verify the resulting stats expose the database type rather than only the driver.
