#38703: parse_search() before pre_get_posts hook

 When hooking `pre_get_posts()`, `$query->get('s')` may be of interest (in
 order, eg, to change some meta condition).
 But it's currently not possible because this `query_vars` is initialized
 far later in the `get_posts()` workflow (by `parse_search()`).

 Is there anything which keeps core from doing `parse_search()` earlier?
 If not, could we provide `query_vars['s']` to implementers of
 `pre_get_posts`?
