 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="62177"
 Code Quality: Replace `void` with proper return types in `wpdb` and
 related functions.

 Replace `void` in union return types with `null`, `false`, or `never` as
 appropriate, and add explicit `return null` statements where methods
 previously fell through without a return value.

 Methods updated in `wpdb`: `prepare()`, `print_error()`,
 `check_connection()`, `get_row()`, `get_col_info()`, `bail()`,
 `check_database_version()`.

 Also adds `@return never` to `dead_db()` and fixes the `@phpstan-return`
 syntax for `wp_die()`.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11009

 Props apermo, westonruter, xate, mukesh27, SergeyBiryukov.
 Fixes #64703.
