 WordPress 4.4 introduces the `termmeta` database table, and also attempts
 to be accomodating of situations where this table was previously
 created—for example, by a plugin. The upgrade process properly updates the
 index on the pre-existing table to facilitate the move to utf8mb4, but
 doesn’t actually attempt to convert the table to the new collation. If the
 table was created prior to version 4.2, it will retain the old collation.
