Description:
The current version string contains "m<number>".

That is no longer comprehensible for anybody outside the Oracle MySQL organization.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Change m<nubmer> to "dmr". This has Tomas' blessing.

Noted in 5.8.0 changelog.

Development milestone releases in previous MySQL series were numbered
using a suffix of -mN, to indicate development milestone N. In MySQL
5.8, development releases have a suffix of -dmr. For example, this
release of MySQL is numbered 5.8.0-dmr.
