register_meta

register_meta: 這個函式用來為一個文章、使用者、評論或術語物件註冊後設資料。它需要四個引數：$object_type, $meta_key, $args, 和 $deprecated。$object_type是後設資料將被附加到的物件的型別，$meta_key是後設資料的名稱，$args是定義後設資料行為的引數陣列，$deprecated是表示該引數不再使用的資訊。

註冊一個元鍵。

我們建議為物件型別和物件子型別的特定組合註冊元鍵。如果省略了物件子型別的傳遞，元鍵將為整個物件型別註冊，然而它可以部分地被覆蓋，以防同一物件型別和一個子型別存在相同名稱的更具體的元鍵。

如果一個物件型別不支援任何子型別，如使用者或評論，你通常應該呼叫這個函式而不傳遞子型別。
