This new helper function is used by the pluggable functions `wp_get_current_user()` and `get_currentuserinfo()`, which was previously being called by the former before [36311]. Without it, infinite loops could be caused when plugins implement these functions, as they are now called the other way around.
Fixes#19615.

It encourages an ugly pattern like `global $userdata; get_currentuserinfo();` in plugins/themes. `wp_get_current_user()` should be used instead, e.g. `$current_user = wp_get_current_user();`.
Props scribu for initial patch.

* Will be replaced with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/atom-publishing-protocol/.
* Introduces an action, xmlrpc_rsd_apis, to add APIs to xmlrpc.php?rsd.
* Introduces support for 'error' being 403 and 50x in class-wp.php.
* Removes 'Remote Publishing' from Writing Settings (see [21804]). Keeps the remote_publishing settings section.
DB version is bumped to generate the new wp-app rewrite rule and remove the old enable_app option.
