Enable use of termmeta table

[jackreichert]

This pertains to tickets regarding termmeta: #19048, #10142, #5183.

I understand that they were closed; however, there already exists a termmeta table. The only thing holding it back from being used is that lines 208, 209 of wp-includes/wp-db.php is missing 'termmeta'.

Can this be included?

To clarify:
The only thing holding update_metadata('term', $object_id, $meta_key, $meta_value) from being used is the missing value in wp-db.php.

There is no meta table for terms in core. #10142 is the main ticket for adding term meta to core.

Thanks, it looks like the wp_termmeta table I was looking at was added by a plugin.
