#55806: `get_pages` should use `WP_Query` internally

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The function `get_pages` does raw database calls. It does not use the
 class WP_Query. This means that performance, bug fixes and filters are not
 applied to `get_pages`. To improve maintainability and reduce code,
 `get_pages` should be refactored to use  `WP_Query` internally.
