EntityQuery Access Check in node_get_recent()

Problem/Motivation

On Drupal 10.0, executing node_get_recent(1); anywhere in your codebase returns a fatal error:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\QueryException: Entity queries must explicitly set whether the query should be access checked or not. See Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\QueryInterface::accessCheck(). in Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\Sql\Query->prepare() (line 141 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/Query/Sql/Query.php).
Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\Sql\Query->execute() (Line: 713)
node_get_recent(1)

This is due to CR #3201242: Access checking must be explicitly specified on content entity queries → , which is now enforced in Drupal 10 by throwing an exception if ::accessCheck() is not explicitly included in any content entity queries. To be honest, this is no surprise because issue 📌 Deprecate node_get_recent() Fixed explains the situation succinctly:

node_get_recent() is unused and untested in core.

The fix in Drupal core would technically be a one-liner and might still make sense to try to get in (without tests?) while progress is made on #3356516 to remove the function completely in Drupal 11.

function node_get_recent($number = 10) {
  $account = \Drupal::currentUser();
  $query = \Drupal::entityQuery('node');
+  $query->accessCheck(FALSE);
  if (!$account->hasPermission('bypass node access')) {
    // If the user is able to view their own unpublished nodes, allow them
    // to see these in addition to published nodes. Check that they actually

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Add a call to ::accessCheck() to avoid the error. The person who authored the CR (mentioned above) seemed to suggest that ::accessCheck(FALSE) is what the default behavior implies. If you review the code of node_get_recent() it includes its own additional permissions logic, so I think FALSE is safe.
