This adds a more specific description for accepted object types: `post`, `comment`, `term`, `user`, or any other object type with an associated meta table.

The purpose of meta registration is to assert that the meta key will contain a predictable value conforming to a schema, so the schema is therefore considered to be required.

Object type-specific actions that should happen before or after modification of metadata have so far been part of the respective wrapper functions. By using action and filter hooks, this changeset ensures they are always executed, even when calling the lower-level Meta API functions directly, which the REST API does as a prime example.

WPCS 1.0.0 includes a bunch of new auto-fixers, which drops the number of coding standards issues across WordPress significantly. Prior to running the auto-fixers, there were 15,312 issues detected. With this commit, we now drop to 4,769 issues.
This change includes three notable additions:
- Multiline function calls must now put each parameter on a new line.
- Auto-formatting files is now part of the `grunt precommit` script.
- Auto-fixable coding standards issues will now cause Travis failures.

Introduce an `object_subtype` argument to the args array for `register_meta()` which can be used to limit meta registration to a single subtype (e.g. a custom post type or taxonomy, vs all posts or taxonomies).
Introduce `register_post_meta()` and `register_term_meta()` wrapper methods for `register_meta` to provide a convenient interface for the common case of registering meta for a specific taxonomy or post type. These methods work the way plugin developers have often expected `register_meta` to function, and should be used in place of direct `register_meta` where possible.

[41496] removed support for numbered placeholders in queries send through `wpdb::prepare()`, which, despite being undocumented, were quite commonly used.
This change restores support for numbered placeholders (as well as a subset of placeholder formatting), while also adding extra checks to ensure the correct number of arguments are being passed to `wpdb::prepare()`, given the number of placeholders.

Registration is now based solely on object type, which allows the code around this to be simplified significantly.
In the process of making this adjustment:
* `register_meta()`, `unregister_meta_key()`, `get_registered_metadata()`, and `registered_meta_key_exists()` no longer return `WP_Error` objects.
* The recently introduced `wp_object_type_exists()` function and the restriction on object type has been removed.
Note: No guarantee of uniqueness is made across object subtypes. Registered meta keys should be uniquely prefixed to avoid conflict.

When using `register_meta()` with the function signature from 4.5 and earlier, the `auth_{$type}_meta_{$key}` and `sanitize_{$type}_meta_{$key}` filters are used. Any calls to `register_meta()` expecting this behavior should continue to work. The new filters, which take advantage of object subtypes, should not be added unless the proper `$args` array is passed.

If auth and/or sanitize callbacks are specified in the arguments for
`register_meta()`, filters are added to handle these callbacks. These
should be removed when calling `unregister_meta_key()` to avoid
unintentional filtering.

In doing this, non-core object types are no longer forcibly blocked and are instead checked against `wp_object_type_exists()` which has a filterable return value. Still, filter that at your own risk.

`register_meta()` has been altered to accept an array of arguments as the third parameter in order to support its usage beyond XML-RPC, notably in the REST API and other projects that may build on top of meta, such as a potential Fields API. Arguments are whitelisted to reserve the right for core to add more later.
New functions added to complement this expansion are:
* `registered_meta_key_exists()`
* `unregister_meta_key()`
* `get_registered_meta_keys()`
* `get_registered_metadata()`
* A "private" function for the aforementioned whitelisting.
There still need to be lots of tests written for previous and new behaviors, and many things are subject to change. Maybe things will explode. #yolo

Comment and term meta lazyloading for `WP_Query` loops, introduced in 4.4,
depended on filter callback methods belonging to `WP_Query` objects. This meant
storing `WP_Query` objects in the `$wp_filter` global (via `add_filter()`),
requiring that PHP retain the objects in memory, even when the local variables
would typically be expunged during normal garbage collection. In cases where a
large number of `WP_Query` objects were instantiated on a single pageload,
and/or where the contents of the `WP_Query` objects were quite large, serious
performance issues could result.
We skirt this problem by moving metadata lazyloading out of `WP_Query`. The
new `WP_Metadata_Lazyloader` class acts as a lazyload queue. Query instances
register items whose metadata should be lazyloaded - such as post terms, or
comments - and a `WP_Metadata_Lazyloader` method will intercept comment and
term meta requests to perform the cache priming. Since `WP_Metadata_Lazyloader`
instances are far smaller than `WP_Query` (containing only object IDs), and
clean up after themselves far better than the previous `WP_Query` methods (bp
only running their callbacks a single time for a given set of queued objects),
the resource use is decreased dramatically.
See [36525] for an earlier step in this direction.

The `$delete_all` flag in `delete_metadata()` triggers cache invalidation for
multiple objects. Previously, invalidation took place for all objects matching
the `$meta_key` parameter, regardless of whether `$meta_value` was also set.
This resulted in overly aggressive invalidation.
