Trac ticket: Core-65044

Posts, Post Types: Fix missing array check in get_post_custom_values().

get_post_custom() can return false for an invalid post ID or an empty
string for a non-existing post. get_post_custom_values() accessed the
result as an array without first verifying it is one, triggering a PHP
warning on PHP 8+.

Adds an is_array() guard consistent with the sibling function
get_post_custom_keys(), which already handles this case correctly.
