 For back compat reasons, wp_magic_quotes() performs addslashes() on GPCS
 data.  This is a pain, especially given that some core API expects slashes
 and some doesn't.  In hopes of someday losing the automatic GPCS slashing,
 let's introduce a flag to turn off the slashing as well as slash and
 unslash functions that consult the flag.  If slashing is on, these
 functions add and strip slashes.  If slashing is off, they return data
 unchanged.  Plugin authors can start using these functions and testing
 their code with GPCS slashing turned off and on.  Eventually, GPCS
 slashing would default to off and all calls to the slash and unslash
 functions could be removed from core.
