#41427: wp_set_object_terms creates new terms instead of linking existing ones

 Function {{{wp_set_object_terms}}} doesn't behave as expected. When I pass
 an ID of an existing term (integer) as {{{$terms}}} parameter, it creates
 a new term with given ID as a slug. This is most likely due to one of the
 plugins I use, but the problem goes away when I change lines 2241 and 2242
 in {{{taxonomy.php}}} to the following:
 {{{
 $term_ids[] = intval($term_info['term_id']);
 $tt_id = intval($term_info['term_taxonomy_id']);
 }}}
 Would you consider adding this to the next version as a failsafe?
