 Currently, there is no way to filter the `$post_type` argument of the
 `_get_last_post_time` function.

 This creates situations where it's impossible to filter/modify the default
 post type when `_get_last_post_time` is called without the `$post_type`
 argument.

 Suggested enhancement is to add a `_get_last_post_time_post_type` filter
 inside the `_get_last_post_time` function, right after the `$field` is
 validated or the timezone gets lowercased.

 Something like this...

  {{{#!php
 $post_type = apply_filters( '_get_last_post_time_post_type', $post_type );
 }}}

 Thank you for considering this enhancement.
