Changeset 57990 for trunk/src/wp-includes/pluggable.php

Message:

Users: Account for returning false from the authenticate filter.

While technically only null, WP_User, or WP_Error should be returned from the authenticate filter, a plugin might return boolean false instead, which would trigger the authentication_failed error prior to [57882].

This commit aims to preserve that behavior in case false is returned.

Follow-up to [57882].

Props johnbillion.
See #60700.
