Removes the mutually exclusive directives check in `wp_robots()`, ie allow both `follow` and `nofollow` to be specified and for `archive` and `noarchive` to be specified.
This fixes a bug in which WordPress would defer to the most permissive over the least permissive. When contradictory instructions are included, WordPress will defer to the search engine's or archivist's resolution policy: generally this is to observe the least, not most permissive.

This changeset introduces a `wp_robots_max_image_preview_large()` function which is hooked into the `wp_robots` filter to include the `max-image-preview:large` directive for all sites which are configured to be indexed by search engines. The directive allows search engines to display large image previews for the site in search results.

This changeset introduces a filter-based Robots API, providing central control over the `robots` meta tag.
* Introduces `wp_robots()` function which should be called anywhere a `robots` meta tag should be included.
* Introduces `wp_robots` filter which allows adding or modifying directives for the `robots` meta tag. The `wp_robots()` function is entirely filter-based, i.e. if no filter is added to `wp_robots`, no directives will be present, and therefore the entire `robots` meta tag will be omitted.
* Introduces the following `wp_robots` filter functions which replace similar existing functions that were manually rendering a `robots` meta tag:
* `wp_robots_noindex()` replaces `noindex()`, which has been deprecated.
* `wp_robots_no_robots()` replaces `wp_no_robots()`, which has been deprecated.
* `wp_robots_sensitive_page()` replaces `wp_sensitive_page_meta()`, which has been deprecated. Its rendering of the `referrer` meta tag has been moved to another new function `wp_strict_cross_origin_referrer()`.
Migration to the new functions is straightforward. For example, a call to `add_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_no_robots' )` should be replaced with `add_filter( 'wp_robots', 'wp_robots_no_robots' )`.
Plugins and themes that render their own `robots` meta tags are encouraged to switch to rely on the `wp_robots` filter in order to use the central management layer now provided by WordPress core.
