If $wgadmindbuser and $wgadmindbpass are not set, it will fall back to
$wgDBuser.
A few users may have configured a user with restricted permissions* and
not set $wgAdminUser, but doesn't seem worth not performing the change
due to them, compared to the benefit for the other 98% of users.

* The normal user needs UPDATE and DELETE privileges anyway, so there's
not much chance to restrict the mediawiki db user...
