SQL Server: `migrate dev` (and `db push`) does not create a database

See original GitHub issue

This is the error message when you try to migrate a database that does not exist on SQL Server:

C:\Users\Jan\Documents\throwaway\sqlServerCycles>npx prisma migrate dev
Environment variables loaded from .env
Prisma schema loaded from prisma\schema.prisma
Datasource "db" - SQL Server

Error: Migration engine error:
Performing a TLS handshake
Trusting the server certificate without validation.
TLS handshake successful
Turning TLS off after a login. All traffic from here on is not encrypted.
Cannot open database "mydb" requested by the login. The login failed.
Database error
Database does not exist: mydb

(We should probably have tests for all databases that ensure this works)

I did some testing in the context of https://github.com/prisma/prisma-engines/pull/2089 and the ME does try to create a database on create-database and returns a proper error when that happens. Maybe there is something in the CLI preventing that code from running?
