 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="31461"
 Update the descriptions for `transition_post_status()` and the
 `{$new_stats}_{$post->post_type}` hook with more information about the
 expected behavior of transitioning post statuses.

 In some cases, the values of `$old_status` and `$new_status` may be the
 same thing before and after a post status is "transitioned". An example of
 this would be the scenario where a published post is being updated: the
 status before and after the update both equal 'publish'.

 Further, the documentation clarifies that if the intent is to only execute
 code when initially transitioningto a post status from something else, the
 'transition_post_status' hook should be used instead of one of the dynamic
 hooks to avoid confusion.

 Props Idealien for the initial patch.
 Fixes #31099.
