Options to manage the WordPress core XML Sitemaps, optimize and fix some bugs.

== Description ==

The light-weight XML Sitemaps Manager allows you to de/activate WordPress core XML sitemaps, change the maximum number of URLs per sitemap and add Last Modified dates.

= Features =

* **Last Modified** dates for post types, term and user archives plus the first sitemap of each type in the index.
* Conditional **is_sitemap()**, [ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51543).
* Conditional **is_sitemap_stylesheet()** for good measure.
* Multisite compatible. On uninstallation, all sub-site options will be cleared from the database as long as is_large_network() does not return true.
* Additional fixes and improvents to the core XML Sitemap:

**Fixes**

* 404 Response code on certain sitemaps, [ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51912).
* Don't set is_home() true, [ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51542).
* Don't execute main query, [ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51117).
* Ignore stickyness, [ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55633).

**Improvements**

Reduces the number of database queries for:
- the post type sitemap by 4;
- the sitemap index by 5;
- the taxonomy sitemap by the number of terms in that taxonomy;
- the user sitemap requests by the number of users.
