 As summarized in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40364#comment:14,
 we'd like to have solid functions for installing a site in a multisite
 network as well as uninstalling it.

 These functions should only take care of the "site-level" part of things,
 like:

 * creating/dropping database tables
 * populating options
 * setting up initial content

 The idea is to only be required to call `wp_insert_site()` and then
 `wp_install_site()` to get a new site set up.

 Before we start working on the two functions, we should discuss what
 exactly it needs to do. This will have to match what currently happens
 spread out between `wpmu_create_blog()` and another function it calls,
 `install_blog()`. We should aim to make this consistent and also think
 about ways to enhance these functions and the functions they use, for
 example by providing filters to adjust some of these defaults.

 This will be a rather comprehensive task, so it does not necessarily need
 to go in at a similar time as the changes from #40364. We should probably
 even wait to start it until those changes have been completed. This ticket
 should just be on the horizon for now, I'd say.
