 Posts, Post Types: Deprecate `get_page_by_title()` in favour of
 `WP_Query`.

 Formally deprecate `get_page_by_title()`. In its current form the function
 is unpredictable in that it may return a result that leads to a 404 error
 and will return different results depending on the database version/engine
 combination used.

 It is recommended developers use `WP_Query` instead:

 {{{
 $query = new WP_Query(
  array(
   'post_type' => 'page',
   'title'     => 'Sample Page',
  )
 );
 }}}

 Fixes #57041.
