Extracted from #2171683: Remove all Simpletest overrides and rely on native multi-site functionality instead:

Problem

  1. The database configuration form in the installer still uses 'db_prefix' instead of 'prefix'.

  2. The 'db_prefix' value is passed forward and converted into global $databases as-is.

  3. Only a dirty hack/@todo for PIFR happens to catch the wrong 'db_prefix' key and move it into the correct 'prefix' key.

Solution

  1. Fix the form definition to use 'prefix'.
  2. Remove the obsolete hack/@todo for PIFR.
  3. Fix WebTestBase::installParameters() to actually pass the correct form input values for the database configuration form step.

Those test failures are actually caused by the removed futzing with global $databases in TestBase::changeDatabasePrefix(), which is still required, because the installer does not get a real settings.php.

(Yet - that's one of the major points of #2171683: Remove all Simpletest overrides and rely on native multi-site functionality instead)

Great! Now also removing the @todo that was just commented out previously.

Removed the additional change to the form description from this patch, since that is irrelevant here.

This patch looks ready to me. I need it for #2171683: Remove all Simpletest overrides and rely on native multi-site functionality instead

We need a change notice since the database configuration form has changed.
