 In [changeset:"41663"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41663"
 Database: Fix some PHP errors introduced in [41662].

 PHP < 5.4 requires a `$matches` parameter to be passed to
 `preg_match_all()`

 `wpdb::prepare()` can be called before translations are loaded, so needs
 appropriate `wp_load_translations_early()` calls.

 See #42040.
