new wiki creation assumes master user = "root", blocks installation

Description:
Setting up a new wiki needs access to a MySQL admin account. It asks for
the password, and assumes the username for MySQL is "root".

The trouble is, many MySQL installations have the master account name
changed, to make it harder to guess and hack. So wiki installation fails.

All thats needed is an extra box, "Enter DB root account username (if
not 'root')".

Its trivial, but it makes it very troublesome to get wiki set up if MySQL
is configured against hackers.

Thanks.
