Boone Gorges ed639b408a Split shared taxonomy terms on term update.
When updating an existing taxonomy term that shares its `term_id` with
another term, we generate a new row in `wp_terms` and associate the updated
term_taxonomy_id with the new term. This separates the terms, such that
updating the name of one term does not change the name of any others.

In cases where a plugin or theme stores term IDs in the database, term splitting
can cause backward compatibility issues. The current changeset introduces
two utilities to aid developers with the transition. The `'split_shared_term'`
action fires when the split takes place, and should be used to catch changes in
term_id. In cases where `'split_shared_term'` cannot be used, the
`wp_get_split_term()` function gives developers access to data about terms
that have previously been split. Documentation for these functions, with
examples, can be found in the Plugin Developer Handbook. WordPress itself
stores term IDs in this way in two places; `_wp_check_split_default_terms()`
and `_wp_check_split_terms_in_menus()` are hooked to `'split_shared_term'` to
perform the necessary cleanup.

See [30241] for a previous attempt at the split. It was reverted in [30585]
for 4.1.0.

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.
