The order of parameters in `get_metadata_default()` did not match the signature of `get_metadata()`. This could be confusing for developers who are familiar with the existing metadata API.

The `register_meta()` API now officially supports specifying a default metadata value. When `get_metadata()` is called for a meta key that does not yet exist for the object, this default value will be returned instead of an empty string.
A new function is introduced `get_metadata_raw` to retrieve the raw metadata value from the database, without applying the registered default.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

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.
