	 * Short-circuits the process of detecting errors related to HTTPS support.
	 *
	 * Returning a `WP_Error` from the filter will effectively short-circuit the default logic of trying a remote
	 * request to the site over HTTPS, storing the errors array from the returned `WP_Error` instead.
	 *
	 * @since 5.7.0
	 *
	 * @param null|WP_Error $pre Error object to short-circuit detection,
	 *                           or null to continue with the default behavior.
