Posts, Post Types: Fix WP_Query parameter used by get_page_by_title().

Fixes the call to `WP_Query` within `get_page_by_title()` by using the correct title parameter, `title`.

Modify the `orderby` parameter to prioritize the oldest published date over the smallest post ID. This ensures the behaviour matches that of the previous version of `get_page_by_title()`.

The tests have been modified to include a populated post table to ensure the posts returned are matched by design rather than coincidence.

Follow up to [54234].

Fixes #56609.
See #36905.
