 Introduced in wordpress 3.2, `wp_credits()` retrieve the contributor
 credits from http://api.wordpress.org/. This function doesn't accept any
 parameter, '''it retrieves data only for the current wordpress version and
 local'''.

 As a plugin developer, if I want to get wordpress credits information for
 older versions or different locals, I can't do that using `wp_credits()`.

 But It can be easily fixed. The function just need to accept the version
 and the local as parameters. For backwards compatibility, if the
 parameters are empty, we will use the current version and local.

 See the attached patch.
