 The idea is to have only a single place where we perform any manipulation
 of term data before returning the data to the XML-RPC client.

 Since term(s) are used in wp.getTerm, wp.getTerms, wp.getPostTerms,
 wp.getPost, and wp.getPosts, it makes more sense to have a single function
 than to have similar/duplicate code in all five.

 It's currently a trivial operation, but this will make it easier to modify
 in the future when/if core adds new fields to terms (like the legendary
 term meta). It also is a convenient location to have a filter hook for
 plugins to modify the output.
