One thing fairly common to the cache groups is a block of code to look to see when the cache was last changed, and if there isn't one, to set it for the current microtime(). It appears in 8 different places in core. This adds a new helper `wp_cache_get_last_changed` to DRY things up a bit.
Since `wp-includes/cache.php` isn't guaranteed to be loaded, this new function is in `wp-includes/functions.php`

Hiding the `$wpdb` global behind a property decreases the readability of the code, as well as causing irrelevant output when dumping an object.

Previously, `compact()` provided a non existent `$join` and could cause confusion for anyone attempting to extend `WP_Site_Query` with their own tables. This aligns with the current behavior in `WP_Network_Query`.

This avoids a second uncached query used to determine found rows. Instead, we can cache the number of found sites and the max number of pages for reuse when the same query is requested in the future.

Provides a consistent way to query `$wpdb->blogs` for `WP_Site` objects based on domain, path, site ID, network ID, and more.
Introduces and uses `update_site_cache()` and `_prime_site_caches()` to maintain a cached list of `WP_Site` objects for use in multiple queries.
