Suggested QA steps (requires a local instance to test):

Install the CheckUser extension
Check that no definition of $wgCheckUserEventTablesMigrationStage exists in your LocalSettings.php, and remove it if present.
Add $wgCheckUserLogLogins = true; into your LocalSettings.php if not already present
Create a few testing accounts
Make a few testing edits, log events (such as moves), and log in and out of the testing accounts
Log into an account with the checkuser right
Open Special:CheckUser, enter one account username you created in step 4 to the "Username" field, change the check subtype to 'Get IP Addresses', and then run a check.
Click on the IP address shown in the results list
Change the check type to 'Get users' on this new page and run the check
Verification step 1: Ensure you see the accounts you created in step 4 in the results list
Save a screenshot of the results for later comparison
Add $wgCheckUserEventTablesMigrationStage = SCHEMA_COMPAT_NEW; to your LocalSettings.php file
Press the check button on the 'Get users' check opened in step 9
Verification step 2: Verify that the results list did not visually change.

If QA needs suggested steps that work on patchdemo, please ping me and I will create them.

I compared the HTML output of "Get users" with SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_OLD and SCHEMA_COMPAT_READ_NEW for all the IP addresses I had on my local wiki. There were no differences.

Test environment: local docker CheckUser 2.5 (d121f43) 16:23, 27 September 2023.
