Subject: [PATCH] Code Modernization: Set the MySQLi error reporting off for
 PHP 8.1.

Prior to PHP 8.1, the default error handling mode was `MYSQLI_REPORT_OFF`. An error in the extension, database, query, or the database connection returned `false` and emitted a PHP warning:
{{{
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "non-existing-user", "", "");

Warning: mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it in ... on line ...
}}}

From PHP 8.1 and later, the default error mode is set to `MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR|MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT`. An error in the extension, database, query, or the database connection throws an exception:
{{{
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "non-existing-user", "", "");

Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Connection refused in ...:...
}}}

WordPress has its own error reporting and gracefully handles the database errors by inspecting the error codes. Setting the MySQLi error reporting to off avoids fatal errors due to uncaught exceptions and maintains the current behavior.
