 get_adjacent_post: modify WHERE clause to include ID-based fallback to
 ensure deterministic ordering

 Since WordPress 2.7, where multiple posts have identical post_date values
 (e.g., when bulk publishing drafts), the next/previous post navigation
 skips posts or behaves unpredictably. This is because the WHERE clause
 uses strict inequality (`>` or `<`) which excludes posts with the same
 date.

 To ensure deterministic ordering, this commit modifies the WHERE clause to
 include ID-based fallback for posts with identical dates.

 Props ramonopoly, westonruter, andrewserong.

 Fixes #8107.
