Comment:

 As the general update routines in WordPress are publicly accessible (see
 #34200), let's only work in network upgrade scope here. I uploaded
 [attachment:39205.diff] which I think is good to go, except for one major
 question: Since we're only dealing with upgrading the network, should we
 rather be calling the capability `upgrade_network` instead of the general
 `upgrade_database`?
