This changeset introduces `$post` parameters to `get_the_content()` and
`wp_trim_excerpt()`. When a `$post` object is passed to one of these functions,
the functions will operate on the data from that object, rather than from the
post globals (`$authordata`, `$page`, etc). This ensures that the functions work
in a predictable manner when used outside of the regular post loop.
The global-mismatch problem is surfaced in cases where `get_the_excerpt()` is
called outside of the post loop, on posts that don't have a defined excerpt. In
these cases, the post globals - used to generate a fallback excerpt - may refer
to the incorrect object, resulting in PHP notices or other unpredictable
behavior. See #36934 for a related issue.
