Message:

Allow get_terms() to fetch terms regardless of taxonomy.

get_terms() has historically required that a taxonomy be specified when
querying terms. This requirement is related to the fact that terms could
formerly be shared between taxonomies, making $taxonomies critical for
disambiguation. Since terms can no longer be shared as of 4.4, it'
s desirable to be able to query for terms regardless of what taxonomy they're in.

Because it's now optional to pass taxonomies, it's no longer necessary to have
$taxonomies as the first (and required) parameter for get_terms(). The new
function signature is get_terms( $args ), where 'taxonomy' can (optionally) be
passed as part of the $args array. This syntax is more consistent with
functions like get_users() and get_posts().

We've maintained backward compatibility by always giving precedence to the old
argument format. If a second parameter is detected, or if it's detected that
the first parameter is a list of taxonomy names rather than an $args array,
get_terms() will parse the function arguments in the legacy fashion.

Fixes #35495.
