Jonny Harris 92994bd336 Query: Use split queries in WP_Query if persistent object caching is enabled.
Prior to this commit, the `WP_Query` class split the query for posts into two database queries. First, it initiated an ID-based query to retrieve post IDs, followed by a call to _prime_post_caches to fetch post objects if they weren't already in memory. This splitting of queries was limited to cases where fewer than 500 posts were being requested, to prevent a potentially large database query within the IN statement in _prime_post_caches.

However, this limitation becomes unnecessary when a persistent object cache is enabled, as the post objects can be efficiently retrieved from the fast object cache. This commit transfers the responsibility of fetching posts to the object cache, which not only speeds up the process but also reduces the strain on the database server.

Fixes #57296.

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.
