`CHAR` is redundant, since the `meta_value` column is `LONGTEXT`. Meanwhile,
use of `CAST()` causes MySQL to ignore any index that the administrator may
have added to the column.
A number of automated tests were doing searches for `CAST` in the SQL strings
generated by `WP_Meta_Query` (for reasons unrelated to the `CAST()` behavior).
These tests have been updated to expect the new query format.

Known functions, classes, and methods are now auto-linked in Code Reference pages following #meta1483.
Note: Hook references are still linked via inline `@see` tags due to the unlikelihood of reliably matching for known hooks based on a RegEx pattern.

By forcing all clause keys to be strings, we make it possible to use strict
comparison when validating values of 'orderby' as passed to `WP_Query`. This
eliminates situations where the presence of numeric clause keys could result
in an improperly validated 'orderby' value.
