#3128: Wordpress's installation fails when the PHP-option magic_quotes_runtime is
enabled.

When a user enters his or her database settings, the entire wp-config-
sample.php is read. This file is then searched for certain strings, which
will then be replaced with the strings the user supplied. However, wp-
config-sample.php contains quotes, which are automatically quoted because
magic_quotes_runtime is enabled.
To add more confusion: the installation doesn't even complain! Before
these replacements are made, the databaseconnection is tested using the
user-supplied strings. These of course are correct, but strings in wp-
config.php are not!
So:
* wp-admin/setup-config.php should check for magic_quotes_runtime
* wp-admin/setup-config.php should use the variables from wp-config.php to
test the connection (after they have been replaced)
* wp-admin/setup-config.php should use a better way to create this config,
this is really ugly!
