This creates a tradeoff in optimizing repeated queries vs on off queries.
Another tradeoff is making more cache get calls as opposed to more SQL calls.
Primary reason for dropping the cache hydration is that seems like we can acheive the same results without it, so no need to add this additional complexity to our code.
With PHP 8.0, non-strict comparisons between integers and strings containing
non-numeric characters are being tightened. This affects comparisons like:
0 < '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
PHP 8.0 that equates to true whereas prior to 8.0 it would be false.

There's a number of places in the WooCommerce codebase where the
built-in function 'round' is executed passing a non-numeric value
(not a number and not a string that can be parsed as a number),
for example round(''). In PHP 7 this yields a value of 0, but in
PHP 8 this throws an error.
This commit adds a 'NumberUtil' class with a static 'round' method,
this method checks if the passed value is numeric and if so it just
executes the built-in function, otherwise it returns 0. And all the
calls to 'round' in the codebase are replaced with 'NumberUtil::round'.
A mechanism for improved filtering by attribute for variations was
introduced some time ago. This mechanism implied maintaining term
relationships for variations, where the terms were the attributes
that defined the variation.
The mechanism was reverted because it was complex and presented many
issues, but the code that created those term relationships was kept.
This pull request removes that code and the associated unit tests.
When "Create variations from all attributes" is used to create
variations it generates term relationship entries for all the generated
variations, however that doesn't happen when the term can be interpreted
as a numeric value. This is because in that case product->get_attributes
returns the attribute values as numbers, but the code that generates
the term relationships expect those to always be strings.
When manually adding a given variation this doesn't happen.
The fix is to simply strval-ize the value before using it, but it might
be worth investigating why this is happening.
Product attributes are currently recorded as terms in
wp_term_relationships (product attributes are actually taxonomies).
In the case of variable products this is true for the main product,
but not for the variations. The attributes used to define variations
are stored as post meta, but nothing is recorded in the term
relationships table.
This is a problem when using the layered nav filtering plugin,
since the attribute counters displayed are calculated based solely
on the contents of the term relationships table. Adding meta queries
would be really messy (especially when the widget is configured
with AND operator) and would probably also hurt performance.
This commit adds a change to store the attributes for variations
as term relationships, additionally to storing them as post meta.
Terms are stored on variation creation, and updated/deleted together
with the variation as appropriate. "Any" variations (stored in meta
as empty values) are not stored as terms.
Additionally, a database upgrade is included in order to backfill
terms for already existing products.
Modify the increment and decrement SQL query in
WC_Product_Data_Store_CPT::update_product_stock to be atomic. This fixes
a race condition in concurrent order placement.
