PHPMyAdmin install script for Debian/Ubuntu

Inspired by the fact that the Debian and Ubuntu packages still ship version 4.4.6 (as of April 2019) and doesn't even run on PHP 7. Please see this bug report for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phpmyadmin/+bug/1767361

This is a blunt and experimental script.

It may not result in a secure setup.

Use at your own risk.

The script is tested on the following distributions:

Debian 10 Buster
Debian 9 Stretch
Debian 8 Jessie
Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Bionic Beaver
Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus
Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS Trusty Thar

This script SHOULD...

detect your existing MariaDB and/or MySQL server and leave them alone
detect your existing PHPMyAdmin config.inc.php and use it instead
never remove MySQL or MariaDB

This script will...

remove your existing PHPMyAdmin installation and configuration
install Apache2, PHP and a few other packages
install MariaDB server if you don't have it (or MySQL server)
install and configure PHPMyAdmin from the official source
change the root password of the newly-installed MariaDB
delete and recreate database user 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost'
