Improves the create_tables.pl script. ! non-braking change !
The changes in this pull request prepare the base for upgrading the Dockerfile from Debian 8.8 + mysql 5.5 to Debian 10 + Mariadb. The change is a NON-braking change.
The changes allow the database type (mysql or Mariadb) to be defined either via command line argument or environment variable. As used in the Dockerfile, the environment variable introduced is set in the nt_vars file with a default of "mysql". This should ensure a default which keeps everything running.
I hope this change can be accepted as a first step to upgrade the Dockerfile.
