Jonathan Desrosiers 7a6ba32941 Networks and Sites: Officially remove global terms.
Global terms was a feature from the WordPress MU days where multisite and single site installs used different code bases.

In WordPress 3.0, WordPress MU was merged into one location and the UI [14854] and “on” switch [14880] for global terms were completely removed.

Even before this merge, global terms was bug infested and unreliable. After [14854]/[14880], the feature was no longer maintained and became increasingly broken as taxonomies progressed without it (term splitting and term meta do not work at all). At this point, the feature has not worked in 12+ years and there’s no hope for saving it.

This deprecates the remaining global terms related code and no-ops the functions.

Global terms, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Fixes #21734.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
