 Currently, calling `wpdb::db_version()` only returns the version number of
 the db server. It would be useful to have a separate method called
 `db_server_info()` that returned the full string with vendor and version.
 That way one wouldn't have to use the raw sql function
 `mysqli_get_server_info()` outside of wpdb and allows `wpdb` to properly
 abstract this functionality.
