Draft: Determine Database username max length automatically

Hi,

This MR is for adding the capability to increase the Database username length automatically to not being limited to 16 characters on modern servers (with MySQL >= 5.7.8 or MariaDB > 10.x) but increase it to 32 characters.

The way it has been implemented is the following:

  • the limit applied in file (interface/web/sites/database_user_edit.php) is now determined automatically based on SQL server installation.
  • The check on the version installed prevent any break on previous/old setups
  • There is no addition of optional button "which would clutter the interface ... while the Team is trying to keep it a bit clear so users don't get lost" (as mentionned by @thom : #4483 (comment 78920)).

Closes #4483
