Code Modernization: Fix null to non-nullable deprecations in wp_xmlrpc_server::mw_newPost().

The wp_xmlrpc_server::mw_newPost() method creates a new post via wp_insert_post(), but the default/fallback values used in the function were not in line with the default/fallback values used in the wp_insert_post() function.

The wp_insert_post() function does a wp_parse_args() (array merge) of the received arguments with the defaults. If any of the received arguments are null, this would overwrite the default value, as seen in array_merge() example, and lead to "passing null to non-nullable" deprecation notices on PHP 8.1 for certain arguments.

This commit:

  • Ensures that all arguments are defined before they are compact()'ed together to the arguments array.
  • Verifies that the default/fallback value of the arguments as set within the wp_xmlrpc_server::mw_newPost() method are the same as the default/fallback values used in the wp_insert_post() function.
  • Verifies that arguments which do not have a default/fallback value defined in the wp_insert_post() function are handled correctly.
    • This was not the case for $post_name, which would previously already get an empty string default value in the wp_xmlrpc_server::mw_newPost() function, but then in the wp_insert_post() function, this would prevent the slug generation from being activated. Fixed now by setting the default in the wp_xmlrpc_server::mw_newPost() function to null.
    • The page_template argument was handled, but not documented in the wp_insert_post() function. The argument is now documented in the wp_insert_post() function DocBlock. Note: There are more than likely several other potential arguments missing from that list, but verifying the whole list is outside the scope of this particular commit.

Includes minor simplifications, such as:

  • Setting a default ahead of an if, instead of in an else clause (as long as no function call is needed to set the default).
  • Removing the unnecessary logic duplication in the $post_status switch.
  • Using a combined concatenation + assignment operator for adding $post_more.

Fixes various errors along the lines of:
