 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="32602"
 Add support for `WP_Widget::get_settings()` returning
 `ArrayIterator`/`ArrayObject` instances.

 Plugins can use `pre_option_widget_{$id_base}` filters to return
 `ArrayIterator`/`ArrayObject` instances instead of primitive arrays. This
 makes possible for widget instance data to be drawn from somewhere else
 than `wp_options`, such as a custom post type.

 Add unit tests for widgets.

 Fixes #32474.
