Determines whether the database or WPDB supports a particular feature.
Description
Capability sniffs for the database server and current version of WPDB.
Database sniffs are based on the version of MySQL the site is using.
WPDB sniffs are added as new features are introduced to allow theme and plugin developers to determine feature support. This is to account for drop-ins which may introduce feature support at a different time to WordPress.
