#45085: different args passed to "term_name" and "term_{$field}" filters

 In `/wp-admin/edit-tags.php`, for each row in the `WP_Term_List_Table`,
 both
 [[https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/term_name/|term_name]]
 and
 [[https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/term_field/|term_{$field}]]
 (with `$field == 'name'`) get applied before the term's name is displayed
 in the table.

 As far as I can tell, there is no way to hook into `term_name` without
 also hooking into `term_{$field}` (when `$field == 'name'`).

 When `term_name` is applied, the 2nd argument is a `WP_Term` object; when
 `term_{$field}` (when `$field == 'name'`) is applied, the 2nd argument is
 an int (`term_id`).

 Given that both of these filters have been around for **many** years, I
 don't think it would be a good idea to change either one of them so that
 their argument lists were the same.  However, I think it would be a good
 idea to add some explanation of this conflict in the DocBlocks of both
 filters.

 Of course, I could add comments to both entries in the Code Reference, but
 I think it would be **much** better if that explanation were in the
 DocBlocks.
