 Parse non-hierarchical tag input into term IDs before sending to
 `wp_insert_post()`.

 When editing a post, non-hierarchical taxonomy terms are sent as the
 comma-separated list entered into the tax_input metabox. Passing these
 values directly to `wp_update_post()` meant that they were interpreted as
 term slugs rather than term names, causing mismatches when a typed string
 matched the slug of one term and the name of a different term. We fix the
 problem by preprocessing tax_input data sent from post.php, converting it
 to
 unambiguous term_ids before saving.

 Props boonebgorges, ArminBraun.
 Fixes #30615.
