Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 > Should we add a clause in map_meta_cap() to grant that capability to
 regular admins on non-multisite setups as well?

 This is what I recommend we work towards. It's the most backwards
 compatible, and provides a filterable funnel for all database upgrade
 checks.

 > Is there another place in core where this capability could be used?

 * Maybe `wp_should_upgrade_global_tables()`?
 * Maybe`wp_upgrade()`?
 * Maybe some additional context could/should be passed in, so plugins can
 come to their own conclusions
