Filter hook 'get_{$meta_type}_metadata'

Description

Short-circuits the return value of a meta field. The dynamic portion of the hook name, `$meta_type`, refers to the meta object type (post, comment, term, user, or any other type with an associated meta table). Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function. Possible filter names include: - `get_post_metadata` - `get_comment_metadata` - `get_term_metadata` - `get_user_metadata`
