 In [changeset:"37359"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37359"
 Tests: Correct 'meta_query' syntax in test related to `WP_User_Query`
 'who' param.

 The test, introduced in [32207], used the incorrect syntax for
 'meta_query' -
 one fewer level of array-nesting than what `WP_Meta_Query` requires. This
 slip uncovered a bug introduced into `WP_User_Query` in [30094], whereby
 an incorrectly formatted 'meta_query' parameter would be properly parsed
 by
 `WP_User_Query` when passed alongside `who=authors`.

 We need to fix the inconsistent syntax in order to resolve #36724.

 See #36724, #32019, #23849, #27026.
