As part of attempting to stream line WordCamp to use the WordPress.org HyperDB I've run into a case where it's probably easier to remove the HyperDB handling from the github codebase, than it is to workaround having part of it open-source verses the closed-source (DB configuration).

As HyperDB is not actually needed by WordCamp.org in local environments (There's only a singular Database/server) it might as well just be removed.

This might have some unexpected edgecases, as WordPress may upgrade the local-dev DB tables collation from utf8mb4_general_ci to utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci which we're not presently using on WordCamp.org (AFAIK), but this isn't likely to cause any compatibility issues between the two environments.
