Add author_url to WP_Comment_Query

[dshanske]

Add argument to query author_url to WP_Comment_Query. I reread the code multiple times. This is not an option.

I have a different proposal to streamline the pingback_ping code, and it searches for duplicate pingbacks before accepting a new one. Using WP_Comment_Query would be superior to the direct database call currently performed.

Is 35377.diff​ already enough? If you want matches using LIKE you can use the search param.

[dshanske]

That's exactly it.

In 36224:

Introduce 'author_url' param to WP_Comment_Query.

Props swissspidy.
Fixes #35377.

In 36279:

Use assertEqualSets() in comment_author test.

The previous assertion was too specific, resulting in race conditions.

See #35377.
