An upgrader class is used in conjunction with an upgrader skin class. A skin class handles the logging for an upgrade and informs a user about the progress and failures.
The current Ajax install/update handlers are using the `Automatic_Upgrader_Skin` class because during an Ajax request no output is intended. The difference between Ajax updates and automatic updates is that you will see the full log (usually by email) while Ajax updates focus only on success or failure. For that `Automatic_Upgrader_Skin` has one disadvantage: It doesn't provide a way to retrieve failure messages which were passed through `WP_Upgrader_Skin::error()` by the upgrader.
To solve this issue a new skin `WP_Ajax_Upgrader_Skin` has been introduced. The skin extends `Automatic_Upgrader_Skin` and overrides the `error()` and `feedback()` methods to intercept all errors, which can be a `WP_Error` object or a string.
This updates all four Ajax handler for installing/updating themes/plugins to use the new skin. They now also check the skin for any intercepted errors and pass them on to the user.

The pre-3.4 theme previewer doesn't work when using a static front page.
We kept the old theme preview for no-JS and some browsers that were less capable. But since browsers are doing a better job today we don't need to continue fixing/shipping this legacy code. Bye!

First step towards restoring a good heading structure in wp-admin.
The previous `<h1>` contained the site title and a link to the front page and was removed with the toolbar refactoring in 3.2.

This is only enabled when new files will not be installed during the update (as indicated by the WordPress.org API), and does not apply to Plugin/Theme/Translation Background Updates.
Additionally, the code to determine if the 'direct' filesystem transport should be used has been tweaked for wider support (where getmyuid() was unavailalbe) which fixes#10424

These commits were accidentally re-synced commits from develop.svn.wordpress.org due to a race condition. Thankfully, the history of this repository matters fairly little. It also happened only for trunk.

- Add a "Update Translations" stand-alone button to the updates page
- Shift Language feedback to before update process completion action links & limit the verbosity of output (name + success/errors)
- Simplify/combine the language update descriptive string to only include a plugin/theme name
- Properly handle cache clearing after language updates to prevent langs being repeditively updated
- Display a "All items up to date" string when there's nothing to do
- Reduce the 'Connection Information' from a <h2> to a <h3> to remove duplicate h2's and screen icons from update screens
- Fix the Direct filesystem method not being used for Language updates because WP_LANG_DIR doesn't exist (check it's parent for writable instead)
