 Background: #47632, #49373.

 `wpdb` is the only core class that is not an external library and does not
 follow the `class-*.php` naming pattern:
 {{{
 | WARNING | Class file names should be based on the class name
 |         | with "class-" prepended. Expected class-wpdb.php, but
 |         | found wp-db.php.
 |         | (WordPress.Files.FileName.InvalidClassFileName)
 }}}

 For consistency with the rest of core classes and to conform to
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-
 standards/php/#naming-conventions naming conventions] in WordPress coding
 standards, the class should be moved to `wp-includes/class-wpdb.php`,
 following the process in comment:33:ticket:47632.

 For backward compatibility, the new file should be included from `wp-
 includes/wp-db.php`.
