[34561] instituted the policy of forcing pagination for comments. This strategy
was intended to avert problems when 'page_comments' is set to 0 - as it is by
default - and the number of comments on a given post rises into the hundreds or
thousands. By forcing pagination in all cases, we ensured that WordPress would
not time out by processing unwieldy numbers of comments on a given pageload.
The strategy proves problematic, however, because comment permalinks are
generated using the page of the comment. Forcing pagination for posts that
were not previously paginated would change the URL of all comments that do not
appear on the default comment page.
This changeset reintroduces the 'page_comments' setting and its corresponding
checkbox on Settings > Discussion. A number of tests, which were written after
[34561], are modified to work now that 'page_comments' will, once again, be
disabled by default.

The `_network_option()` parameter order will be changing to accept `$network_id` first. The `_site_option()` functions will remain in use throughout core as our way of retrieving a network option for the current network.

Previously, the 'page_comments' toggle allowed users to disable comment
pagination. This toggle was only superficial, however. Even with
'page_comments' turned on, `comments_template()` loaded all of a post's
comments into memory, and passed them to `wp_list_comments()` and
`Walker_Comment`, the latter of which produced markup for only the
current page of comments. In other words, it was possible to enable
'page_comments', thereby showing only a subset of a post's comments on a given
page, but all comments continued to be loaded in the background. This technique
scaled poorly. Posts with hundreds or thousands of comments would load slowly,
or not at all, even when the 'comments_per_page' setting was set to a
reasonable number.
Recent changesets have addressed this problem through more efficient tree-
walking, better descendant caching, and more selective queries for top-level
post comments. The current changeset completes the project by addressing the
root issue: that loading a post causes all of its comments to be loaded too.
Here's the breakdown:
* Comment pagination is now forced. Setting 'page_comments' to false leads to evil things when you have many comments. If you want to avoid pagination, set 'comments_per_page' to something high.
* The 'page_comments' setting has been expunged from options-discussion.php, and from places in the codebase where it was referenced. For plugins relying on 'page_comments', we now force the value to `true` with a `pre_option` filter.
* `comments_template()` now queries for an appropriately small number of comments. Usually, this means the `comments_per_page` value.
* To preserve the current (odd) behavior for comment pagination links, some unholy hacks have been inserted into `comments_template()`. The ugliness is insulated in this function for backward compatibility and to minimize collateral damage. A side-effect is that, for certain settings of 'default_comments_page', up to 2x the value of `comments_per_page` might be fetched at a time.
* In support of these changes, a `$format` parameter has been added to `WP_Comment::get_children()`. This param allows you to request a flattened array of comment children, suitable for feeding into `Walker_Comment`.
* `WP_Query` loops are now informed about total available comment counts and comment pages by the `WP_Comment_Query` (`found_comments`, `max_num_pages`), instead of by `Walker_Comment`.
Aside from radical performance improvements in the case of a post with many
comments, this changeset fixes a bug that caused the first page of comments to
be partial (`found_comments` % `comments_per_page`), rather than the last, as
you'd expect.

Adds a new table to the database schema (`wp_termmeta`), and a set of
`*_term_meta()` API functions. `get_terms()` and `wp_get_object_terms()`
now also support 'meta_query' parameters, with syntax identical to other
uses of `WP_Meta_Query`.
When fetching terms via `get_terms()` or `wp_get_object_terms()`, metadata for
matched terms is preloaded into the cache by default. Disable this behavior
by setting the new `$update_term_meta_cache` paramater to `false`.
To maximize performance, within `WP_Query` loops, the termmeta cache is *not*
primed by default. Instead, we use a lazy-loading technique: metadata for all
terms belonging to posts in the loop is loaded into the cache the first time
that `get_term_meta()` is called within the loop.

For the last 10 years, my-hacks has been deprecated and has been throwing a deprecation notice. For the last six years, you haven't been able to enable my-hacks.php in the admin UI. That should be enough time to give developers notice. Plugins and themes seem like they might have staying power.

It's pretty easy to run over the `option_name` length, which causes undefined behaviour when inserting and retrieving options. Increasing the length from `VARCHAR(64)` to `VARCHAR(191)` significantly reduces the risk of this occurring.
Because `option_name` has a `UNIQUE` index, we can only increase it to 191 characters, rather than 255. The index can only use a prefix of 191 characters, so will incorrectly restrict long different strings that have the same prefix, if we make the column longer.

When inserting an image into a post, the values in `wp.media.controller.Library` should not default to linking the image when no user settings are present.
The default display setting value for `link` is now `none`. User settings persist and will override or confirm this value based on user actions.

This is the first big step to supporting arbitrary domains and paths. In this new approach, sites are detected first where possible, then the network is inferred. Allows filtering for arbitrary path segments, smooths out some weirdness, and removes various restrictions. A sunrise plugin could do much of its work by adding filters, if those are even needed.
