A new global multisite table `wp_blogmeta` is added to the database schema, and a set of `*_site_meta()` API functions are introduced.
The implementation fails gracefully when the new table is not yet available, which may happen especially shortly after the core update, before the network has been upgraded to the new database schema. The presence of the table is detected once and stored as a global setting on the main network.
Core does not yet use site metadata, but there are several use-cases to be implemented or explored in the near future, and it allows plugins to extend sites with arbitrary data, which will come in particularly handy with the upcoming REST API endpoint for sites.

When multisite is setup already, e.g. in a multi network environment, this change gives a performance benefit over the direct SQL query that was previously used. The SQL query remains in place for when setting up multisite initially as the network API is not available at that point.

A theme can opt-in for tailored starter content to apply to the customizer when previewing the theme on a fresh install, when `fresh_site` is at its initial `1` value. Starter content is staged in the customizer and does not go live unless the changes are published. Initial starter content is added to Twenty Seventeen.
* The `fresh_site` flag is cleared when a published post or page is saved, when widgets are modified, or when the customizer state is saved.
* Starter content is registered via `starter-content` theme support, where the argument is an array containing `widgets`, `posts`, `nav_menus`, `options`, and `theme_mods`. Posts/pages in starter content are created with the `auto-draft` status, re-using the page/post stubs feature added to nav menus and the static front page controls.
* A `get_theme_starter_content` filter allows for plugins to extend a theme's starter content.
* Starter content in themes can/should re-use existing starter content items in core by using named placeholders.
* Import theme starter content into customized state when fresh site.
* Prevent original_title differences from causing refreshes if title is present.
* Ensure nav menu item url is set according to object when previewing.
* Make sure initial saved state is false if there are dirty settings without an existing changeset.
* Ensure dirty settings are cleaned upon changeset publishing.

`get_network()` falls back to the current network when called without any arguments. Between this and `get_current_network_id()`, we can replace almost all instances of the global `$current_site` and all instances of `get_current_site()`.
This effectively deprecates `get_current_site()`, something that we'll do in a future ticket.

The network admin email setting for a network is often used as a catch-all or notification email separate from the actual user ID set as the owner of the new network. If a non-user email address is set during network installation, we can defer to the current user as the actual network admin and apply the entered email as the address to which general notifications are sent and emails are sent from.
In the future, we'll want to update the messaging around "Network Admin Email" to reflect its reality. See #34293.

[34561] instituted the policy of forcing pagination for comments. This strategy
was intended to avert problems when 'page_comments' is set to 0 - as it is by
default - and the number of comments on a given post rises into the hundreds or
thousands. By forcing pagination in all cases, we ensured that WordPress would
not time out by processing unwieldy numbers of comments on a given pageload.
The strategy proves problematic, however, because comment permalinks are
generated using the page of the comment. Forcing pagination for posts that
were not previously paginated would change the URL of all comments that do not
appear on the default comment page.
This changeset reintroduces the 'page_comments' setting and its corresponding
checkbox on Settings > Discussion. A number of tests, which were written after
[34561], are modified to work now that 'page_comments' will, once again, be
disabled by default.

Previously, the 'page_comments' toggle allowed users to disable comment
pagination. This toggle was only superficial, however. Even with
'page_comments' turned on, `comments_template()` loaded all of a post's
comments into memory, and passed them to `wp_list_comments()` and
`Walker_Comment`, the latter of which produced markup for only the
current page of comments. In other words, it was possible to enable
'page_comments', thereby showing only a subset of a post's comments on a given
page, but all comments continued to be loaded in the background. This technique
scaled poorly. Posts with hundreds or thousands of comments would load slowly,
or not at all, even when the 'comments_per_page' setting was set to a
reasonable number.
Recent changesets have addressed this problem through more efficient tree-
walking, better descendant caching, and more selective queries for top-level
post comments. The current changeset completes the project by addressing the
root issue: that loading a post causes all of its comments to be loaded too.
Here's the breakdown:
* Comment pagination is now forced. Setting 'page_comments' to false leads to evil things when you have many comments. If you want to avoid pagination, set 'comments_per_page' to something high.
* The 'page_comments' setting has been expunged from options-discussion.php, and from places in the codebase where it was referenced. For plugins relying on 'page_comments', we now force the value to `true` with a `pre_option` filter.
* `comments_template()` now queries for an appropriately small number of comments. Usually, this means the `comments_per_page` value.
* To preserve the current (odd) behavior for comment pagination links, some unholy hacks have been inserted into `comments_template()`. The ugliness is insulated in this function for backward compatibility and to minimize collateral damage. A side-effect is that, for certain settings of 'default_comments_page', up to 2x the value of `comments_per_page` might be fetched at a time.
* In support of these changes, a `$format` parameter has been added to `WP_Comment::get_children()`. This param allows you to request a flattened array of comment children, suitable for feeding into `Walker_Comment`.
* `WP_Query` loops are now informed about total available comment counts and comment pages by the `WP_Comment_Query` (`found_comments`, `max_num_pages`), instead of by `Walker_Comment`.
Aside from radical performance improvements in the case of a post with many
comments, this changeset fixes a bug that caused the first page of comments to
be partial (`found_comments` % `comments_per_page`), rather than the last, as
you'd expect.

Adds a new table to the database schema (`wp_termmeta`), and a set of
`*_term_meta()` API functions. `get_terms()` and `wp_get_object_terms()`
now also support 'meta_query' parameters, with syntax identical to other
uses of `WP_Meta_Query`.
When fetching terms via `get_terms()` or `wp_get_object_terms()`, metadata for
matched terms is preloaded into the cache by default. Disable this behavior
by setting the new `$update_term_meta_cache` paramater to `false`.
To maximize performance, within `WP_Query` loops, the termmeta cache is *not*
primed by default. Instead, we use a lazy-loading technique: metadata for all
terms belonging to posts in the loop is loaded into the cache the first time
that `get_term_meta()` is called within the loop.

It's pretty easy to run over the `option_name` length, which causes undefined behaviour when inserting and retrieving options. Increasing the length from `VARCHAR(64)` to `VARCHAR(191)` significantly reduces the risk of this occurring.
Because `option_name` has a `UNIQUE` index, we can only increase it to 191 characters, rather than 255. The index can only use a prefix of 191 characters, so will incorrectly restrict long different strings that have the same prefix, if we make the column longer.
