Groups are fetched through groups_get_groups() again, with the already-shadowed group IDs passed as an exclusion list (bounded by the number of groups on the site); users and posts keep the single-query backfill. Also stops a PHP notice in the Shadow column when a taxonomy has no shadow setting.

Previously each daily run loaded the ID of every already-shadowed object into PHP and passed them back as an exclusion list, so the query grew with the number of shadowed objects. Each backfill is now one prepared query per type that checks for an existing shadow term inside the database, so it stays the same size however many objects are shadowed. Users, BuddyPress groups (hidden groups included) and posts in the active statuses are covered as before; on multisite, users are still limited to members of the current site. The blacklist filter is still honoured. The internal get_excluded_ids_by_taxonomy() helper is removed, and get_unshadowed_groups_by_taxonomy() now returns group IDs rather than group objects.
