 Functions such as `get_term_by()` don't check the object cache before
 performing their query. We should introduce a function for getting a cache
 object by its field/value pair to make these more efficient.

 I've written a simple function, `get_cache_object_by()`, which accepts
 `$field` and `$value` parameters in the same way `get_term_by()` does, and
 an optional `$group` parameter for the cache group.

 `get_term_by()` and other `get_*_by()` functions could check the cache
 with this function before performing their query.

 The function is compatible with external object cache plugins that use the
 `cache` member variable of the `$wp_object_cache` object, as they should.
