 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41361"
 Widgets: Add shortcode support inside Text widgets.

 * Used now in core to facilitate displaying inserted media. See #40854.
 * The `[embed]` shortcode is not supported because there is no post
 context for caching oEmbed responses. This depends on #34115.
 * Add `do_shortcode()` to the `widget_text_content` filter in the same way
 it is added for `the_content` at priority 11, with `shortcode_unautop()`
 called at priority 10 after `wpautop()`.
 * For Text widget in legacy mode, manually apply `do_shortcode()` (and
 `shortcode_unautop()` if auto-paragraph checked) if the core-added
 `widget_text_content` filter remains, unless a plugin added
 `do_shortcode()` to `widget_text` to prevent applying shortcodes twice.
 * Ensure that global `$post` is `null` while filters apply in the Text
 widget so shortcode handlers won't run with unexpected contexts.

 Props westonruter, nacin, aaroncampbell.
 See #40854, #34115.
 Fixes #10457.
