 In the current taxonomy API, you end up having to pass the taxonomy name
 over and over again.

 I propose we have a WP_Term class to avoid that.

 === Example ===

 Current:

 `get_term_link( get_term_by( 'name', 'Term Name', 'taxname' ), 'taxname'
 )`

 Proposed:

 `get_term_by( 'name', 'Term Name', 'taxname' )->get_link()`

 get_term_by() would return a WP_Term instance instead of a stdClass
 instance.

 Besides get_link(), the WP_Term class could also have an update() method
 that would replace (or complement) wp_update_term().

 Inspired by #14156.
