[48658] documented that various metadata functions return false for an invalid ID. However, that does not clarify what an invalid ID is: a non-numeric, zero, or negative value. This change adds the clarification in all relevant metadata function docblocks.

Previously, only the username was checked which caused a PHP warning in some server setups, for instance Shibboleth SSO, where the server only populates the `PHP_AUTH_USER` field.

Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication to transfer authentication details. If the site is already using Basic Auth, for instance to implement a private staging environment, then the REST API will treat this as an authentication attempt and would end up generating an error for any REST API request.
Now, Application Password authentication will only be attempted if Application Passwords is in use by a site. This is flagged by setting an option whenever an Application Password is created. An upgrade routine is added to set this option if any App Passwords already exist.
Lastly, creating an Application Password will be prevented if the site appears to already be using Basic Authentication.

Previously App Passwords used a mix of "enabled" and "available". We've now standardized on using "available".
Additionally, we now use a 501 status code when indicating that App Passwords is not available.

In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

The filter is the callback function added with `add_filter()`, therefore the hook passes a value to the filter, and the filter returns a value to change its behaviour.
The documentation is referring to the latter.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

Partially reverts [48059] as there's no full consensus on the removal of the text prefix. Further actions should be taken to improve consistency and accessibility of the admin notices. Keeps some improvements to the translatable strings from [48059].

For a number of years, most of the WordPress error messages have been prefixed with "Error:". However, these messages appear in a context where it's already clear an error occurred. Whether it's an error, a warning, or any other classification, that's not so relevant for users. The content of the message is the relevant part. The "Error:" prefix doesn't add great value while it does add unnecessary complexity for the message readability.
Also, revises some of these messages to improve clarity and removes HTML from translatable strings.
