 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="50790"
 Users: Share current user instance across functions.

 Share the `WP_User` instance for the current user between the functions
 `get_userdata()` and `wp_get_current_user()`. Both functions return the
 `$current_user` global for the current user.

 Force refresh the `$current_user` global within `clean_user_cache()` by
 immediately re-calling `wp_set_current_user()` with the current user's ID.
 This ensures any changes to the current user's permissions or other
 settings are reflected in the global. As a side-effect this immediately
 rewarms the current user's cache.

 Fixes #28020.
