 When using PHP 8.1, the following error is thrown after configuring the
 database credentials (editing wp-config.php, or using the installer):
 {{{
 PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Table 'mysite.wp_options'
 doesn't exist in .../wp-includes/wp-db.php:2056

 Reverting to PHP 8.0 fixes the problem though.
