 Only reset taxonomies and post types between tests when running core
 tests.

 A growing number of plugins and other WP-based projects use the core test
 tools, such as WP_UnitTestCase, as the basis of their own tests and
 continuous
 integration setups. At the same time, many of these third-party plugins
 use
 custom post types and taxonomies, which are generally registered a single
 time
 during a run of the tests: at 'init', before the testcases have run.
 Wiping out
 these globals between tests will mess with these third-party builds.

 Best practice for plugin developers is probably to clean up their own post
 types
 and taxonomies and then reinitialize before each test. But, in the
 interest of
 not breaking everyone's builds, the core test suite will not enforce this.

 Fixes #29827.
