 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38095"
 Meta: Remove object subtype handling from `register_meta()`.

 Registration is now based solely on object type, which allows the code
 around this to be simplified significantly.

 In the process of making this adjustment:

 * `register_meta()`, `unregister_meta_key()`, `get_registered_metadata()`,
 and `registered_meta_key_exists()` no longer return `WP_Error` objects.
 * The recently introduced `wp_object_type_exists()` function and the
 restriction on object type has been removed.

 Note: No guarantee of uniqueness is made across object subtypes.
 Registered meta keys should be uniquely prefixed to avoid conflict.

 Fixes #35658.
