The Welcome Panel should be shown in two situations:
1. A new install.
2. A new site in a network, where:
a. the user hasn't seen it before for another site, and
b. is not a super admin.
Attached patch implements this as a new usermeta key. It's also possible
to implement this as a blog option which stores the user ID who needs to
see it before clearing it, which would keep usermeta bloat down, but we
wouldn't be able to patch 2a. As it piggybacks on the same usermeta key
for toggling the panel from Screen Options, the implementation is very
straightforward.
The code is in wpmu_create_blog() (non-empty blog) and wp_install(). It
probably makes more sense in wp_install_defaults(). There's a separate bug
fix here as well (note the $user_id passed to is_super_admin()).
