New description:

 Both are "dead" functions not used anywhere in core. Seem like left overs
 from the post types code in 3.6.

 `get_media_embedded_in_content()` is buggy: cannot handle nested
 `<object>` tags (which were popular few years ago for embedding flash) and
 doesn't match short ended tags without a slash at the end.

 `get_tag_regex()` is also buggy, see #26674. It was used in
 `get_media_embedded_in_content()` before [31574]. Not used anywhere since
 then.
