Thanks for assigning this issue to me. I'm starting to work on it and will keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add wp db status command for quick database health overview</issue_title>
<issue_description>I would like to suggesta new WP-CLI command: wp db status

The command would provide a concise, read-only overview of the current WordPress database health and configuration in a single output, reducing the need to run multiple separate commands.

For support, debugging, and hosting diagnostics, it would be beneficial to have a single, non-destructive command that aggregates key database information into one quick report.

Currently, checking database status requires running several commands such as: wp db size, wp db tables, wp db prefix, wp db check, etc.

My Proposed Command:

wp db status

Output Example:

Database Name:     wp_mehrazmorshed
Tables:            54
Total Size:        312 MB
Prefix:            wp_
Engine:            InnoDB
Charset:           utf8mb4
Collation:         utf8mb4_unicode_ci
Check Status:      OK
```</issue_description>

It will be included in next "3.0.0" version.</body></comment_new>

Yeah you can already try it out in the nightly release.

One difference is that the site-health command involves loading WordPress, whereas the db commands usually also work when WordPress is not even installed yet.</body></comment_new>

Although database info is available from "site-health" command I am positive is adding specific db command which gives info without loading whole WordPress. It would be helpful in scripting.</body></comment_new>
