Posts, Post Types: Update get_the_modified_author() to handle missing global $post and add (missing) $post arg.

The addition of the `$post` argument (which defaults to the global post) brings `get_the_modified_author()` in line with other similar functions, including `get_the_modified_date()` and `get_the_modified_time()`.
