Add support for MySQL SSL connections

[markhadjar]

Hello

I have seen demand for enabling secure database connections across WordPress.org forums, Reddit, and other communities. There is also an older ticket discussing it. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24816

I have created a pull request that enables secure database connections.

This adds support for secure database connections.

Set the following in wp-config.php to enable secure database connections.

Enable secure database connections
define( 'DB_SSL', true );

Set the path to the SSL key
define( 'DB_SSL_KEY', '/path/to/client-key.pem' );

Set the path to the SSL cert
define( 'DB_SSL_CERT', '/path/to/client-cert.pem' );

Set the path to the SSL Certificate Authority
define( 'DB_SSL_CA', '/path/to/ca.pem');
