Docs: clarify that `term_id` is a valid value of the `field` parameter of `get_term_by()`

Description

In the Parameters section, the text for the first parameter ($field) says:

Either 'slug', 'name', 'id' or 'ID' (term_id), or 'term_taxonomy_id'.

The function accepts ‘term_id’ and it's the actual property name of the WP_Term object, so I guess it should appear first and we should make it more clear that id and ID are aliases.

I’d propose to replace the current docs with something like:

Either 'slug', 'name', 'term_id' (or 'id', 'ID'), or 'term_taxonomy_id'.

(thanks @gazchap for catching this in a DevHub user note)
