📄 Description

Description

This PR aims to update the documentation in order to provide instructions for developers on how to install the MariaDB Connector/C on their systems, as it is required to install the mariadb==1.1.14 python package.

What Changed

getting-started/
- development.md
  This file has been changed in order to provide clear steps on how to install MariaDB Connector/C for different operative systems, including macOS and Windows

Why?

As of v0.8.10, libmariadb-dev is added to the Dockerfile presumably to enable the installation of the mariadb==1.1.14 python package. Without it, the installation of the packages within requirements.txt is impossible and open-webui cannot be installed.

Note: as mariadb is not part of requirements-min.txt mentioning those instead of the requirements.txt might also be an alternative to the changes on this PR
