----------------------------+-----------------------------
 In order to support SSL'ed MySQL connections with the `mysqli_*` functions
 introduced in WordPress 3.9 / PHP 5.5 `mysqli_ssl_set()` must be called to
 set the path to the SSL certs and keys to be used by the MySQL client
 before `mysqli_real_connect()` is called.

 We should add the following optional constants to allow for users to
 configure secure connections to the database.
 * `MYSQL_SSL_KEY`
 * `MYSQL_SSL_CERT`
 * `MYSQL_SSL_CA`
 * `MYSQL_SSL_CA_PATH`
 * `MYSQL_SSL_CIPHER`

 In addition this should only be set if the feature flag
 `MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL` is set for the existing `MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS` constant.
