#27776: WordPress API timeouts should be cached to avoid slowing down the admin

 The admin does several calls to the WordPress API, such as from the
 wp_check_browser_version function. These calls don't cache timeouts, which
 means if the API is consistently timing out the admin is slow on every
 load as all of these calls must timeout before the page can load.

 I propose we cache timeouts using transients, for a day.

 This behavior has been present since at least 3.3 and is still the
 behavior on trunk.
