 `register_globals` was [https://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
 deprecated in PHP 5.3.0 and removed in 5.4.0]. Since Core now supports PHP
 >= 5.6.20, this can probably be deprecated.

 The first line of `wp_unregister_GLOBALS()` checks `if ( ! ini_get(
 'register_globals' ) )` and returns early. `ini_get()` returns `false` if
 the option is not set, so this function is probably dead code.

 Follow up ticket to #46152, #49922.
