 Related to #36824.

 The current pingback function accepts two parameters...content and
 $post_ID. Suggesting a new function, perhaps send_ping( $post_ID|$post )
 which retrieves the post object instead and gets the content from that.

 The current function having to pass the content doesn't make sense. In
 #36824, the proposal was to improve performance of the do_all_pings
 function.

 The new function should also optionally return true or a WP_Error object
 in the event the sending fails, for debugging purposes.
