 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="62041"
 Docs: Indicate that `get_posts()` can take a query string in addition to
 an array of query vars.

 A string is supported by virtue of `wp_parse_args()` being used on the
 supplied arguments. While a string is not currently passed to
 `get_posts()` in core, a significant number of plugins are doing so. So in
 addition to documenting actual ecosystem usage, this also adds a test to
 ensure that supplying a query string continues to be supported in the
 future.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11179

 Follow-up to r11528.

 Props rodrigosprimo, westonruter, shailu25, mukesh27.
 See #64224, #10047.
 Fixes #64813.
