General: Backport polyfills for `str_ends_with()` and `str_starts_with()`.

Uses `src/wp-includes/functions.php` becouse commiting to `src/wp-includes/compat.php` fails due to the presence of `__autoload`.

Merges [52040], [56016], and [56015] to 4.6 branch.

Props ocean90, SergeyBiryukov, desrosj, joemcgill, jorbin, mukesh27.
