When a plugin states it requires a specific minimum PHP version (as defined in the `requires_php` field included in the plugin update API response), a user should not be allowed to update that plugin when the server does not satisfy the minimum PHP version.
When this scenario is encountered, the update buttons and links are disabled and links to educational resources about PHP are displayed to the user with a notice.

Due to the high number of follow-up tickets and associated security concerns, it was decided to reschedule the fatal error recovery feature for WordPress 5.2, in order to address these issues properly. The feature will continue to be developed, with iterations being merged into trunk early in the 5.2 release cycle.

This changeset introduces a `WP_Shutdown_Handler` class that detects fatal errors and which extension (plugin or theme) causes them. Such an error is then recorded, and an error message is displayed. Subsequently, in certain protected areas, for example the admin, the broken extension will be paused, ensuring that the website is still usable in the respective area. The major benefit is that this mechanism allows site owners to still log in to their website, to fix the problem by either disabling the extension or solving the bug and then resuming the extension.
Extensions are only paused in certain designated areas. The frontend for example stays unaffected, as it is impossible to know what pausing the extension would cause to be missing, so it might be preferrable to clearly see that the website is temporarily not accessible instead.
The fatal error recovery is especially important in scope of encouraging the switch to a maintained PHP version, as not necessarily every WordPress extension is compatible with all PHP versions. If problems occur now, non-technical site owners that do not have immediate access to the codebase are not locked out of their site and can at least temporarily solve the problem quickly.
Websites that have custom requirements in that regard can implement their own shutdown handler by adding a `shutdown-handler.php` drop-in that returns the handler instance to use, which must be based on a class that inherits `WP_Shutdown_Handler`. That handler will then be used in place of the default one.
Websites that would like to modify specifically the error template displayed in the frontend can add a `php-error.php` drop-in that works similarly to the existing `db-error.php` drop-in.

WPCS 1.0.0 includes a bunch of new auto-fixers, which drops the number of coding standards issues across WordPress significantly. Prior to running the auto-fixers, there were 15,312 issues detected. With this commit, we now drop to 4,769 issues.
This change includes three notable additions:
- Multiline function calls must now put each parameter on a new line.
- Auto-formatting files is now part of the `grunt precommit` script.
- Auto-fixable coding standards issues will now cause Travis failures.

- Remove plugins icons from the plugin list table, as there were performance issues loading the icons when the site had lots of plugins.
- Depending on which icons the plugin has uploaded, prefer them in this order: `svg`, `128x128`, `256x256`.
- Improve the style of the fallback icon for plugins that don't have an icon defined.

This introduces the following meta capabilities:
* `activate_plugin`
* `deactivate_plugin`
* `deactivate_plugins`
The singular `activate_plugin` and `deactivate_plugin` capabilities are used along with the corresponding plugin name when
determining whether or not a user can activate or deactivate an individual plugin.
The plural `deactivate_plugins` capability is used in place of the existing `activate_plugins` capability when determining
whether a user can deactivate plugins.
Each of these new meta capabilities map to the existing `activate_plugins` primitive capability, which means there is no
change in existing behaviour, but plugins can now filter the capabilities required to activate and deactivate individual
plugins.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.

Introduces some consistency in the usage of the button CSS classes, fixes the
focus style for accessibility and responsiveness of the buttons.
- Adds the `button` class to all primary buttons make them responsive
- Removes all `secondary-button` classes and replaces it with button when needed. `button-secondary` shouldn't be used and exists just for backward compatibility reasons
- Replaces classes inside `submit_button()` with a shorthand for some buttons, and use an empty string for the default `button` class. Passing `button` is unnecessary
- Adjusts `get_submit_button()` to remove empty items

The plugin details modal can be invoked from several screens. There's now a new
`.open-plugin-details-modal` CSS class to be used in combination with the
`.thickbox` CSS class that adds everything needed for accessibility.
- Adds an ARIA role `dialog` and an `aria-label` attribute to the modal
- Adds a `title` attribute to the iframe inside the modal
- Constrains tabbing within the modal
- Restores focus back in a proper place when closing the modal
Also, improves a bit the native Thickbox implementation: it should probably be
replaced with some more modern tool but at least keyboard focus should be moved
inside the modal.

Many new users do not know the difference between managing installed plugins and those found in the plugin directory. This helps with discoverability. The link is not provided in multisite installs because we assume that somebody with that kind of power in a network is experienced enough not to need it. This can always be reconsidered later.

These plugins are only shown to users with the `manage_network_plugins` capability, which is Super Admins by default. This new feature lowers the blood pressure of Super Admins who may browse or search the Plugins listing screen of an individual site, having forgotten that a particular plugin is network-active. Showing inactive network-only plugins here also reduces friction when searching the Plugins listing screen on individual sites.
This change introduces a `show_network_active_plugins` filter which controls whether the network-active plugins and inactive network-only plugins are shown. This can be used to enable this functionality for regular site admininstrators, or, indeed, to disable this functionality for Super Admins.
