 In a similar vein to #36217, a `WP_Taxonomy` class would make many things
 easier, like helping with documentation and preventing accidental errors.

 In my proof-of-concept patch, the global `$wp_taxonomies` would be an
 array of `WP_Taxonomy` objects. The class properties wouldn't change for
 backward compatibility and any class methods would only add some benefit
 to it.

 I also implemented the `ArrayAccess` interface because the taxonomy args
 are often passed as arrays (e.g. in the `registered_taxonomy` filter.

 This ticket should:
 * Introduce the `WP_Taxonomy` class and have base properties and methods
 for interacting with a post type object.
 * Apply the new class where it can be used within core.
 * Provide tests for any methods introduced.
