The new `compare_key=LIKE` parameter works in conjunction with `key` in a
similar way to the `compare=LIKE` and `value`: by doing a "compares" `LIKE`
query. This allows developers to do partial matches against keys when
doing meta queries.

WordPress' code just... wasn't.
This is now dealt with.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.

Per the inline documentation standards for PHP, there should only be one `@package` and/or `@subpackage` notation per file, and only in the file header.

Hiding the `$wpdb` global behind a property decreases the readability of the code, as well as causing irrelevant output when dumping an object.

In order to allow meta-related values of `orderby` to be handled properly,
the term query's `meta_query` object must run its `get_sql()` method before
`orderby` parsing.
Fixing this bug required addressing another bug in `WP_Meta_Query`, which
caused the table alias index not to be reset when calling `get_sql()`
multiple times on the same object.

First-order meta query clauses are defined as clauses that have either a 'key' or 'value' array key. When using named first-order clauses in meta queries to order results in the parent query, `WP_Meta_Query` can additionally accept first-order clauses at the sub-clause level, which was not previous documented.

`CHAR` is redundant, since the `meta_value` column is `LONGTEXT`. Meanwhile,
use of `CAST()` causes MySQL to ignore any index that the administrator may
have added to the column.
A number of automated tests were doing searches for `CAST` in the SQL strings
generated by `WP_Meta_Query` (for reasons unrelated to the `CAST()` behavior).
These tests have been updated to expect the new query format.

Known functions, classes, and methods are now auto-linked in Code Reference pages following #meta1483.
Note: Hook references are still linked via inline `@see` tags due to the unlikelihood of reliably matching for known hooks based on a RegEx pattern.

By forcing all clause keys to be strings, we make it possible to use strict
comparison when validating values of 'orderby' as passed to `WP_Query`. This
eliminates situations where the presence of numeric clause keys could result
in an improperly validated 'orderby' value.
