Code Modernization: Check the return type of _get_cron_array() in wp_schedule_event().

This fixes a "Deprecated: Automatic conversion of false to array is deprecated" warning on PHP 8.1.

In wp_schedule_event(), the cron info array is retrieved via a call to _get_cron_array(), but as the documentation (correctly) states, the return type of that function is array|false, where false is returned for a virgin site, with no cron jobs scheduled yet.

However, no type check is done on the return value, and the wp_schedule_event() function just blindly continues by assigning a value to a subkey of the $crons "array".

Fixed by adding validation for the returned value from _get_cron_array() and initializing an empty array if false was returned.

Reference: WordPress Developer Resources: _get_cron_array()
