 I was trying to do a post field sanitization on new post insertions that
 depended on the value of another field.

 While it quite easy in administration context, using for example
 `pre_{$field}` or `{$field_no_prefix}_save_pre` filters in conjunction to
 `$_POST` and so on, it seems that there's no direct way using
 `wp_insert_post` since the filters above do not have references to the
 other fields or to the ID of the post (which is also useless in the case
 of new posts) but only refers to the value to be sanitized.

 So this enhancement aims to introduce new `sanitize_post` filter.

 PS: Of course I could sanitize values directly in `wp_insert_post` but
 only assuming I have control of the code or at the cost of duplicate the
 sanitization in each `wp_insert_post` calls.
