 Allow usage of angle brackets in a site title or tagline.

 The whole string is escaped with `esc_html()` anyway, so we don't
 need to `wp_kses_post()`. This is a better experience for users who
 want to use angle brackets in their site title or description.
 Does not allow any HTML, adds unit tests.

 props BandonRandon, pauldewouters.
 fixes #27942.
