 Background: #37422, #55852.

 In WordPress 5.4,
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/02/13/wordpress-5-4-introduces-
 apply-shortcodes-as-an-alias-for-do-shortcode/ apply_shortcodes() was
 added as an alias for do_shortcode()] for better semantics. It aligns more
 with `apply_filters()` and the semantics of applying filters to the input
 and returning a result, rather than performing an action and outputting to
 the current buffer.

 Since we've revisited `sanitize_url()` and `esc_url_raw()` in [53452], I
 think it's time to consider doing the same here. Should we make
 `apply_shortcodes()` the recommended function, instead of
 `do_shortcode()`?
