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.
