There doesn't appear to be any way for an attacker to introduce malicious input into the URL, unless a plugin is filtering the URL to add it, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

A user is required to have the `manage_privacy_options` capability in order to determine which page is set as the privacy policy (the `wp_page_for_privacy_policy`). Given that, it doesn't make sense to allow users without that capability to edit or delete the page.
A similar situation exists with the `page_for_posts` and `page_on_front` options, but Editors are allowed to edit those pages. The reason that this situation is different is because it is more likely that an administrator will want to restrict modifications to the privacy policy, than it is that they will want to allow modifications. Modifications to the policy often require specialized knowledge of local laws, and can have implications for compliance with those laws.

Previously, personal data exports were stored in `wp-content/uploads/exports`, which is generic enough that it's likely there are existing folders with that name, either created by plugins or manually by administrators. If that folder were reused by Core, then `wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files()` would delete all of the existing files inside it, which is almost certainly not what the site owner wants or expects.
To avoid that, the folder is being renamed to include a specific reference to Core, and a more verbose description of its purpose. With those factored in, it's very unlikely that there will be any conflicts with existing folders.
The `wp_privacy_exports_dir()` and `wp_privacy_exports_url()` functions were introduced to provide a canonical source for the location, and the `wp_privacy_exports_dir` and `wp_privacy_exports_url` filters were introduced to allow plugins to customize it.

Previously, the link used absolute positioning, in order to stick it at the bottom of the page. That was done in order to create visual separation between it and the "action" links, like "Lost Your Password?"
The absolute positioning can cause conflicts in some situations, though. For example, if extra text or error notices are added above the form, then the login link would be positioned on top of other elements.
Switching to relative positioning with extra margins avoids those issues, while maintaining the visual separation between the "action" links and the privacy policy link.

r43158 introduced a new admin pointer for the privacy tools added in 4.9.6. With the previous positioning, though, sometimes the `Dismiss` link would be fixed off screen, making it impossible for the user to dismiss the pointer. This happened when there were enough extra menu items, or when the viewport height was short enough.
This commit repositions the pointer to work around that problem. One down side of this workaround is that the arrow will not always be positioned next to the `Tools` menu, where it should be. That's an acceptable compromise given the current time constraints, though. A long term solution would be to make `WP_Pointer` robust enough to handle this use case.

The previous `user_email` value was redundant, because it always matched `$request_data->email`. That value might be different from where the message is sent, though, if the `user_erasure_fulfillment_email_to` filter is used. If they are different, then callbacks for the `user_confirmed_action_email_content` filter may want to distinguish between the email address of the user making the request, and the email address that the confirmation notification is being sent to.

Previously, when a plugin updated its suggested privacy policy text, an admin notice was shown on all screens in the Administration Panels. That was done in order to make sure that administrators were aware of it, so that they could update their policy if needed. That was a very heavy-handed and intrusive approach, though, which leads to a poor user experience, and notice fatigue.
An alternative approach is to use bubble notifications in the menu, similar to when plugins have updates that need to be installed. That still makes it obvious that something needs the administrator's attention, but is not as distracting as a notice.
The notice will still appear on the Privacy page, though, since it is relevant to that screen, and provides an explanation of why the bubble is appearing.

Previously the admin didn't have any way to know if a pending request was ready to be processed, aside from manually checking the Export/Erase pages. Sending them an email is a much more convenient option.

Previously the pointer overlapped the menu in order to draw attention to the fact that it applies to both the `Tools` and `Settings` menus. That caused a conflict if the menu was collapsed, though, because the icons were covered by the pointer and therefore inaccessible.
Additionally, minor tweaks were made to the text order and formatting. The order of the two sections was swapped in the title and paragraph, in order to match the order of the corresponding menu items. The spacing around headings and paragraphs was tweaked to remove extraneous whitespace.

- Separate the guide text form the suggested policy text.
- Add table of content for easier navigation.
- Move the content to tools.php (prevents the settings menu of being open).
- Add a link to the guide from the Privacy settings screen.
