WordPress has historically often used code like `preg_split( '/[\s,]+/', $var )` to parse a string of comma-separated values into an array. However, this approach was causing an empty string to not be parsed into an empty array as expected, but rather into an array with the empty string as its sole element.
This was among other areas causing problems in the REST API where passing an empty request parameter could cause that request to fail because, instead of it being ignored, that parameter would be compared against the valid values for it, which typically do not include an empty string.

Returning a non-`null` value on this fillter will cause `wp_unique_post_slug()` to return early with that value, skipping potentially expensive database queries on some sites.

Because the existing `post_updated_messages` filter can be modified dynamically based on post state, it's unreliable to use with REST API clients. Instead, these new labels give clients stateless equivalents.

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.

When a post slug is changed, we store a copy of the old slug, so that we can redirect visitors visiting the old URL to the new URL.
In the same way, this stores a copy of the old date, when the post date changes, so we can redirect visitors to the new URL.

[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.
