 Bootstrap/Load: Revert Plugin Global restoration around `advance-
 cache.php`.

 Merges [38251] to the 4.6 branch.

 First added in [37588] and later modified in [38224], the idea was to
 ensure that filters/actions added before `advance-cache.php` would not
 disappear if `advance-cache.php` overloaded the filters/actions with code
 such as `$wp_filter = array()`. This is an edge case and one that there is
 no documented case of existing.

 This restores the behavior from WordPress 4.5 and before. It is strongly
 encouraged that developers using `advance-cache.php` to use the Plugins
 API that is available before the loading of `advance-cache.php` rather
 than directly interacting with any of the globals.

 Props azaozz, jorbin, dd32 for review, pento for review, westi for
 investigation, ipstenu for research.

 See #36819.
