Fixes the dynamic return type extension for _get_list_table().
According to the docs, _get_list_table() returns a (known or unknown) child class of WP_List_Table or WP_List_Table class itself if the passed argument is a WP_List_Table (child) class name, and false otherwise.
As the class name is filterable any WP_List_Table child class maybe returned... We can either assume that in most cases this filtered is not used and return a WP_Posts_List_Table when the argument is WP_Posts_List_Table and risk that this is incorrect (the previous functionality and the current approach) or we can simply return a WP_List_Table which will be correct but less precise.
