 After [34529], a site that is auto-updated but hasn't had an admin user
 log in yet throws errors about a missing `wp_termmeta` table. If display
 errors are enabled on the site, visitors are shown a cryptic message that
 they can't do anything about.

 I tried switching themes and tried with Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Fifteen
 to rule out themes. I signed into `/wp-admin/` and was prompted to update
 the database, which cleared the error message on the next page load.

 If there's a way to prevent causing errors during the update/upgrade
 process when adding a new table, I think we should find it.
