 Looks like a fresh multisite was not tested with 4.2.1. On attempting to
 login to a freshly created site one gets "Error establishing a database
 connection".

 Error logs indicate that the new utf8mb4 collation is the problem. Looks
 like multisite is trying to create utf8_general_ci tables and it is not
 working.

 I will try to force a utf8 collation install and see if the issue
 disappears.
