 When first introduced and described on
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/24/new-wp_get_environment_type-
 function-in-wordpress-5-5/ the Make blog] by Yoast, the function contained
 filters. These filters were removed in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/48662 48662] because "the
 function is called too early for any plugins to properly hook into these
 filters".

 The only _current_ use of `wp_get_environment_type()` by core is for
 setting the `WP_DEBUG` constant when in a development environment. While
 it's true that filters won't work in that scenario, the filters would be
 useful for themes and plugins.

 In my case, I want to set the default environment to "development": while
 there's only one production environment, there are multiple development
 environments that can be created at any time. Setting the environment
 default to "development" means that whenever a new development environment
 is created, the code runs in its safest mode from the start, even without
 explicitly defining `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE` constant.

 Reverting [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/48662 48662] would
 close this ticket.
