 This ticket #41370 appears to have changed the error response for when a
 term already exists.

 However, it used to return the term ID of the term inside the error data.

 It no longer does that.  The reason for needing this is if you are
 attempting to create a post on another site that has a category/tag that
 already exists, it will return the term ID so you can use that inside the
 post creation to properly set the taxonomy IDs of the newly created post.
