Add WordPress MU Network Admin via Database

So, it turns out that those three changes were all that were needed. It also turns out that if any of the serialized arrays are modified incorrectly (which is easy to do when modifying them by hand), the system will just assume you are not a network administrator.

Correcting the serialized array for the site_admins option fixed the problem.
