 Multisite: Introduce metadata for sites.

 A new global multisite table `wp_blogmeta` is added to the database
 schema, and a set of `*_site_meta()` API functions are introduced.

 The implementation fails gracefully when the new table is not yet
 available, which may happen especially shortly after the core update,
 before the network has been upgraded to the new database schema. The
 presence of the table is detected once and stored as a global setting on
 the main network.

 Core does not yet use site metadata, but there are several use-cases to be
 implemented or explored in the near future, and it allows plugins to
 extend sites with arbitrary data, which will come in particularly handy
 with the upcoming REST API endpoint for sites.

 Props spacedmonkey, johnjamesjacoby, jeremyfelt, flixos90.
 Fixes #37923.
