Comment (by flixos90):

 @stephdau It's a good point that `get_site()` isn't a full replacement for
 `get_blog_details()`. Regarding deprecation, I still think we should
 deprecate that function because of its far-from-optimal approach. But I
 agree, there should be a more straightforward alternative. You can very
 easily replace `get_blog_details()` with a `get_sites()` query and
 `array_shift()` in case you're querying by domain or path, but maybe it
 makes more sense to introduce an additional function `get_site_by()` that
 basically wraps these. `get_site_by()` could then become a direct
 replacement which has all the optimizations that we put into `get_site()`
 and `get_sites()`.
