Allow wp_credits() to accept custom wordpress versions and locals

[ramiy]

Introduced in wordpress 3.2, wp_credits() retrieve the contributor credits from ​http://api.wordpress.org/. This function doesn't accept any parameter, it retrieves data only for the current wordpress version and local.

As a plugin developer, if I want to get wordpress credits information for older versions or different locals, I can't do that using wp_credits().

But It can be easily fixed. The function just need to accept the version and the local as parameters. For backwards compatibility, if the parameters are empty, we will use the current version and local.

See the attached patch.

This is a minor update. Instead of using hardcoded $wp_version and get_locale() inside a function. The function can accept the version and the local as parameters. If no parameters set, the function defaults to $wp_version and get_locale().

Administration: Allow wp_credits() to accept $version and $locale parameters.

This can be helpful for plugin developers to get credits information for older versions or different locales.

Props ramiy.
