Description:
Improve storage engine check

During installation MediaWiki checks the result of the MySQL query "SHOW ENGINES" whether the selected engine is listed in the "Engine" column. However, this query returns all engines MySQL knows about no matter whether they are actually available. It is necessary to check the "Support" column as well, only if it contains "YES" or "DEFAULT" the corresponding engine is supported.

I have attached a patch to add this check.

Version: 1.16.x
Severity: minor
