Fixes #26649.

This changeset prevents escaped shortcodes (e.g., [[shortcode]]) from being incorrectly expanded when generating excerpts using get_the_excerpt().

  • Temporarily removes all registered shortcodes before applying the get_the_excerpt filters.
  • Restores the original shortcode handlers after excerpt generation.
  • Ensures escaped shortcodes display correctly without being processed.
