 While running PHPunit tests for one of my plugins with PHP 8.1, I noticed
 deprecation notices in the Requests library during the WordPress
 installation process. These notices reveal in fact that an http request is
 always fired by a cron task during the WordPress installation.

 In bootstrap.php, we can find these lines:
 {{{#!php
 /*
  * Cron tries to make an HTTP request to the site, which always fails,
  * because tests are run in CLI mode only.
  */
 define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true );
 }}}
 However the constant is not passed to the `install.php` script.
 I propose to add this constant in this script too.
