#16756: PHP5-port - Access Violations on wpdb::$prefix

 The to be accessed privately member {{{wpdb::$prefix}}} is accessed
 publicly in multiple places.

 This ''would'' do fatal errors ''if'' the property would be ported to PHP
 5 ''with the documented behavior''.

 The errorneous usage in the places in question ''might'' reveal that
 implementation details were missed because the prefix can differ on multi-
 site setups which is not technically guaranteed when accessing the private
 member.

 The private member was only used "read-only" inside the class. Probably
 this is a documentation issue. It's set {{{set_prefix()}}} and
 {{{set_blog_id()}}} functions (only) and always to the result of
 {{{wpdb::get_blog_prefix()}}}.
