A new global multisite table `wp_blogmeta` is added to the database schema, and a set of `*_site_meta()` API functions are introduced.
The implementation fails gracefully when the new table is not yet available, which may happen especially shortly after the core update, before the network has been upgraded to the new database schema. The presence of the table is detected once and stored as a global setting on the main network.
Core does not yet use site metadata, but there are several use-cases to be implemented or explored in the near future, and it allows plugins to extend sites with arbitrary data, which will come in particularly handy with the upcoming REST API endpoint for sites.

We have a handful of super long regexen that are written over multiple lines, as a collection of strings concatenated together. Each string is indented appropriately for the regex, but PHPCS doesn't recognised this, so defaults to removing the extra whitespace.
Disabling the `Squiz.Strings.ConcatenationSpacing.PaddingFound` rule for these blocks stops the extra whitespace from being removed.

The WPCS `WordPress.WhiteSpace.PrecisionAlignment` rule throws warnings for a bunch of code that will likely cause issues for `wpcbf`. Fixing these manually beforehand gives us better auto-fixed results later.

`get_current_blog_id()` is more appropriate for determining the ID of the current site in most cases. This eliminates the need for the global `$wpdb` in several functions and is better than the implicit global used in admin pages.

"Install" is not a noun, and while it might be acceptable to use the verb as a noun, it is not correct. Using the correct
noun, "installation", increases clarity, especially for non-native English speakers.
This change fixes the usage in user-facing text and in developer documentation.

If index lengths change in table definitions, we don't recreate the index - instead, we throw a database error, as `dbDelta()` tries to create a new index with the same name.
It's better to leave the index as is, MySQL doesn't have an efficient process for resizing indices, and dropping/creating is a slow process which we don't want to trigger automatically.

`get_network()` falls back to the current network when called without any arguments. Between this and `get_current_network_id()`, we can replace almost all instances of the global `$current_site` and all instances of `get_current_site()`.
This effectively deprecates `get_current_site()`, something that we'll do in a future ticket.

In [37888], the comment text was initially updated, however an opportunity to make the text less trivializing of actions that users will take was missed. To quote Helen Hou-Sandi: "It's important not to trivialize actions that are perfectly reasonable for a user to find tricky (where to go to log in is not exactly intuitive, even with the rewrites we have now)."
The text of the comment now reads:

`dbDelta()` compares the index definitions against the result of `SHOW INDEX FROM $table_name`. This requires a specific format so indices are not unnecessarily re-created. This format wasn't ensured, until now.
* Parse the raw index definition to extract the type, name and columns so a normalized definition can be built (#20263, #34873).
* Standardize on uppercase types (#34871) and on 'KEY'. 'INDEX' is only a synonym for 'KEY'.
* Escape index names with backticks (#20263).
* Normalize columns: Ignore ASC and DESC definitions (#34959), remove whitespaces (#34869) and escape column names with backticks (#20263).
* Add backticks to all index change queries (#20263).

When upgrading to `utf8mb4`, `TEXT` fields will be upgraded to `MEDIUMTEXT` (and likewise for all other `*TEXT` and `*BLOB` fields). This is to allow for the additional space requirements of `utf8mb4`.
On the subsequent upgrade, after the `utf8mb4` upgrade, `dbDelta()` would try and downgrade the fields to their original size again. At best, this it a waste of time, at worst, this could truncate any data larger than the original size. There's no harm in leaving them at their original size, so let's do that.

Multisite functions use the term "blog" to refer to what we now call a "site," e.g. `get_current_blog_id()`. These functions are here to stay because of our commitment to backwards compatibility. What we can do is set the documentation straight.
