Allow @see notation to reference classes

Description

The {@see ???} notation currently supports referencing functions (e.g. {@see get_posts()}), class methods (e.g. {@see WP_Query::get_posts()}, and hooks (e.g. {@see 'body_class'}). However, it does not support referencing classes, which in its defense, it didn't need to do because core had never made use of such a reference.

One such an instance was recently introduced into core, which currently incorrectly links {@see Requests_Response} as if it were a function (e.g. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/Requests_Response). See:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/requests_exception_http_unknown/__construct

link_internal_element() should be extended to support references to classes.

The change will likely see more usage in explanations and handbooks, where the syntax is also supported.

Fixes #2367.
