 I18N: Introduce `switch_to_user_locale()`.

 This new function makes it easier to switch to a specific user’s locale by
 reducing duplicate code and storing the user’s ID as additional context
 for plugins to consume. Existing usage of `switch_to_locale()` in core has
 been replaced with `switch_to_user_locale()` where appropriate.

 Also, this change ensures `WP_Locale_Switcher` properly filters
 `determine_locale` so that anyyone using the `determine_locale()` function
 will get the correct locale information when switching is in effect.

 Props costdev.
 Fixes #57123.
 See #26511.
