Message:

Users: Add get_user() alias.

Add get_user() as an alias for get_user_by( 'id', $user_id ). Add get_user() to user.php so it is not a pluggable function. Bring parity with other standard get_ functions for a more intuitive developer experience.

Props sc0ttkclark, kushang78, joedolson, peterwilsoncc.
Fixes #35124.
