Posts: Avoid the use of globals in get_the_content() and related functions.

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.

Props spacedmonkey, kraftbj, Shital Patel.
Fixes #42814.
