Weston Ruter e158ff27de Customizer: Fix scalability performance problem for previewing multidimensional settings.
As the number of multidimensional settings (serialized options and theme mods) increase for a given ID base (e.g. a widget of a certain type), the number of calls to the `multidimensional` methods on `WP_Customize_Setting` increase exponentially, and the time for the preview to refresh grows in time exponentially as well.

To improve performance, this change reduces the number of filters needed to preview the settings off of a multidimensional root from N to 1. This improves performance from `O(n^2)` to `O(n)`, but the linear increase is so low that the performance is essentially `O(1)` in comparison. This is achieved by introducing the concept of an "aggregated multidimensional" setting, where the root value of the multidimensional serialized setting value gets cached in a static array variable shared across all settings.

Also improves performance by only adding preview filters if there is actually a need to do so: there is no need to add a filter if there is an initial value and if there is no posted value for a given setting (if it is not dirty).

Fixes #32103.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
