 In [changeset:"36214"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="36214"
 Ensure 'description' is a string in `wp_insert_term()`.

 Passing `'description' => null` when creating a term can cause MySQL
 notices,
 as the description column in the terms table does not allow for null
 values.
 We correct this by intepreting a `null` description as an empty string.

 Props TimothyBlynJacobs.
 Fixes #35321.
