14983	Get cache object by field	johnbillion		"Functions such as `get_term_by()` don't check the object cache before performing their query. We should introduce a function for getting a cache object by its field/value pair to make these more efficient.

I've written a simple function, `get_cache_object_by()`, which accepts `$field` and `$value` parameters in the same way `get_term_by()` does, and an optional `$group` parameter for the cache group.

`get_term_by()` and other `get_*_by()` functions could check the cache with this function before performing their query.

The function is compatible with external object cache plugins that use the `cache` member variable of the `$wp_object_cache` object, as they should.
