 The following meta capabilities are used within core but do not have any
 handling (no `case` statement) in `map_meta_cap()`. While this is
 functionally fine, it does mean that it's not possible to complete the
 meta capability tests in #38191.

 * `create_sites`
 * `delete_sites`
 * `manage_network`
 * `manage_sites`
 * `manage_network_users`
 * `manage_network_plugins`
 * `manage_network_themes`
 * `manage_network_options`

 Meta capabilities with no handling in `map_meta_cap()` fall back to
 requiring a primitive capability of the same name, so this is the
 functionality that should occur in `map_meta_cap()`. This has no
 functional change as these capabilities are only available to super
 admins.
