In `get_terms()`, don't set automatically `hierarchical` to `false` when `parent => 0` is passed. The default value for `parent` is `''`.

In `_get_term_children()`, don't skip a top-level term without first including its children in the returned term list. Ironically, the call to `_get_term_children()` in `get_terms()` has a comment stating `"Make sure we show empty categories that have children."`, but it didn't work if you were retrieving top-level categories only.

All unit tests pass. Added a unit test based on the use case described in this ticket.

Fixes #26903.
