 In WordPress 5.9 `sanitize_url()` was undeprecated as a wrapper for
 `esc_url_raw()` as sanitizing functions are generally prefixed `sanitize_`
 but for sanitizing URLs it was prefixed `esc_`. It was confusing.

 As `sanitize_url()` is to become
 [https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2022/05/25/rejoice-to-sanitize_url/
 the recommended function for sanitizing a URL], it ought to be the
 canonical function call and contain the code currently in `esc_url_raw()`.

 This will reduce the number of function calls required when using the
 recommended technique.
