Trac ticket: #65819

Makes the data providers in tests/phpunit/tests/term.php static.

Why

PHPUnit data providers should be static so they do not depend on test instance state and remain compatible with current PHPUnit usage in Core.

How

• Convert data_wp_set_term_objects_finds_term_name_with_special_characters() to public static
• Convert data_get_term_filter() to public static

Test-only; no production code changes.

Testing Instructions

1. npm run test:php -- --filter Tests_Term
2. npm run test:php -- --filter Tests_Term -c tests/phpunit/multisite.xml
3. npm run test:php -- --filter Tests_Term --order-by=random
4. npm run test:php -- --group taxonomy
