About putting back Firebird experimental

[Julien]

 Hi Caolán,

Considering all the feedback, I submited https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127180 about putting Migration + propose by default Firebird in experimental.
To fullfil this, reverting https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8a1a9899e05b0ebbc3ff43f2db242724c8feb18f should respond to the second part.
For the first part, I'll take a look at the code pointer you proposed.

IMHO it should be in master branch + 6.3 branch.

The last time the firebird issue was brought to the ESC the outcome was
this commit[1] to keep the prompt to migrate, but set the default
button to "no" and add a link to 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/HowTo/MigrateFromHSQLDB

The suggestion in the title of the email is about putting firebird as
experimental, but is the problem solely (or overwhelmingly) that of the
migration process ? Would changing the migration to be experimental,
while leaving the default for new databases as firebird, work ?

something like restoring a use of
SvtMiscOptions::IsExperimentalMode around
