Add privacy_url to get_bloginfo()

[fixw]

//* function get_bloginfo()
// * - 'privacy_url' - The Sites Privacy Url (set in Settings > Privacy)
		case 'privacy_url':
			$output = get_privacy_policy_url();
			break;

What‘s the benefit of doing this when we have a dedicated function to get the privacy page URL already? I don‘t see a value in that.

@fixw welcome to Trac!

Following up on @swissspidy's comment above, do you have a reasoning you can detail?

While there are several values for get_bloginfo() that just return a URL from a dedicated function (pingback_url, stylesheet_url, stylesheet_directory, to name a few), no new values have been introduced to get_bloginfo() in over 11 years when comments_atom_url was introduced (r4928).

I also vote to close this out in favor of using get_privacy_policy_url() directly.

I am going to close this one out as a wontfix. It does not seem to have a large enough benefit to add, and the direction of core has been in favor of individual functions instead of using get_bloginfo() as a helper.

If a use case comes up that shows more value we can revisit this.
