Zvi "CtrlZvi" Effron db82379f65 installer: fix MySQL create user permissions check
The previous check for the necessary permissions to create a user were
no longer correct. They did not check for the CREATE USER global
permission, which is also sufficient for user creation. Additionally,
they were checking for the ability to grant permissions by comparing
the IS_GRANTABLE column against a boolean true (integer 1). The column
is a varchar(3) that stores the string 'YES' to indicate the presence
of the permission, so the comparison against the integer boolean is
always false.

MySQL has had both the CREATE USER permission and the use of a
varchar(3) column for IS_GRANTABLE since at least MySQL 5.0, so they
are present for all supported versions of MySQL/MariaDB.

This was likely not a problem until 3f852f7ddc, at which point the
checks were added to the web installer flow.

Now, the CREATE USER permission is also accepted and IS_GRANTABLE is
compared against 'YES', so the web installer will be able to present
the option to create users if the database administrator account has
the correct permissions.
