--------------------------+-------------------------
 In #59118/[56475] the `wpdb::$use_mysqli` property was removed because it
 was a private property that was no longer accessed from within `wpdb`.
 This should mean its removal was safe, however the `wpdb` class also
 includes a `__call()` magic method which exposes private and protected
 properties. This means accessing `$wpdb->use_mysqli` is actually possible
 and is in use by plugins.

 See comments on #59118 for discussion.

 To retain backwards compatibility, the property should be reinstated with
 a value of `true`.
