Widgets: Rename and soft deprecate retrieve_widgets().

The original name retrieve_widgets() was unclear as it suggested it was a getter, i.e. getting the widgets. This function does more than get: finds orphaned widgets, assigns them to the inactive sidebar, and updates the database.

The new name is sync_registered_widgets() which better represents what happens when this function is invoked.

The original retrieve_widgets() function is soft deprecated to avoid unnecessary code churn downstream for developers that support more than the latest version of WordPress.

Follow-up to [18630].
