Hoist the numeric term check out of the is_object_in_term() loop

[mukeshpanchal27]

Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65818

is_object_in_term() rebuilt $numeric_strs on every iteration of the $object_terms loop, calling array_filter() and array_map() once per term even though $strs never changes inside the loop. For an object with several terms in a taxonomy, that is N redundant passes over the same input.
