 Inline scripts added via `wp_add_inline_script()` are only output when the
 referenced script file is loaded. If an inline script is added after a
 referenced script file has already been output, the inline script won't be
 output.

 Much like how `wp_enqueue_script()` can be used within a shortcode to
 enqueue a file in the footer even though it would normally be loaded in
 the head; I propose that `wp_add_inline_script()` should output the inline
 script even if the referenced script file has already been loaded.

 Since we can't predict when a script file that was loaded in the footer
 might be loaded into the head due to a third-party script with it as a
 dependency, `wp_add_inline_script()` should also be flexible and not break
 things by simply not outputting the code in those cases.
