Prevent extra db queries in WP_Comment::get_children().

`WP_Comment_Query::fill_descendants()` queries for a comment tree in a way that
minimizes database overhead, and places the located descendants with their
proper parents. However, it doesn't touch leaf nodes - comments with no
children - so future calls to `get_children()` on those comment objects
result in unnecessary database queries. To prevent this, `fill_descendants()`
now sets a `populated_children` flag on all located `WP_Comment` objects.

See #8071.
