Comment:

 4.2 fixes can just be the defines, no need to backport the function IMHO.

 I altered the patch from @johnjamesjacoby slightly by restoring some
 missing checks in the changes, and renamed it from
 `wp_can_upgrade_global_tables` to `wp_should_upgrade_global_tables` -
 WordPress '''can''' upgrade the tables, but it '''shouldn't'''.
