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.

This avoids the performance overhead of the function call every time `dirname( __FILE__ )` was used instead of `__DIR__`.
This commit also includes:
* Removing unnecessary parentheses from `include`/`require` statements. These are language constructs, not function calls.
* Replacing `include` statements for several files with `require_once`, for consistency:
* `wp-admin/admin-header.php`
* `wp-admin/admin-footer.php`
* `wp-includes/version.php`

The `implode()` function accepts two. parameters, `$glue` and `$pieces`. For historical reasons, these parameters have been accepted in any order, though it was recommended that the documented order of `$glue, $pieces` be used.
Starting in PHP 7.4, specifying the parameters in the reverse order will trigger a deprecation notice with the plan to remove this tolerance in PHP 8.0.
This change fixes the occurrences of reversed arguments in Core with the exception of those contained in included external libraries. These will be handled separately.

Translator comments should be on the line directly above the line containing the translation function call for optimal compatibility with various `.pot` file generation tools.

When adding a Custom Link and leaving the "Link Text" field empty, WordPress used to set a default fallback text: "Menu Item".
The changes in [36379] broke this behavior making the fallback text: ` (Pending)`, with a leading space.
Pending major refactoring of the Menus page (which is going to use a block-based user interface) this change just restores the original behavior by adding the fallback text to the related AJAX response.

Noteable changes:
- The `magic_quotes_runtime` and `magic_quotes_sybase` settings were removed in PHP 5.4, so no longer need to be set.
- Some functions that use external libraries can generate errors that can't be tested for, so are globally allowed to silence errors.
- Quite a few functions would cause errors if `safe_mode` was set. This setting was removed in PHP 5.4.
- Only a handful of `header()` calls needed corresponding `headers_sent()` checks for unit tests to pass, but more may need to be added as the nightlies builds are tested.

Introduces the faux primitive capability `view_site_health_checks` available to single site admins and multisite super-admin to view the site health page within the admin.
The capability is mapped to the `install_plugins` capability without being dependent on the file system being writable. This fixes a bug where the feature couldn't be used by sites unable to write to the file system or managed through version control.

The personal data export and erasure tools allow plugins to register their own callbacks, in order to add additional data to the export and erasure processes. Previously, these were registered without specifying a constant identifier in the array of callbacks. Using mutable integers makes it difficult for plugins to modify the callbacks of other plugins, though.
Using associative array keys instead provides a covenient and reliable way to identify and interact with another plugin's callbacks.

Multisite networks have a variety of use cases, and in many of them single-site administrators are not trusted to take actions that affect the whole network, require making decisions about legal compliance, etc. By default, those actions should require super admin capabilities.

* After writing a change to a PHP file for an active theme or plugin, perform loopback requests on the file editor admin screens and the homepage to check for fatal errors. If a fatal error is encountered, roll back the edited file and display the error to the user to fix and try again.
* Introduce a secure way to scrape PHP fatal errors from a site via `wp_start_scraping_edited_file_errors()` and `wp_finalize_scraping_edited_file_errors()`.
* Moves file modifications from `theme-editor.php` and `plugin-editor.php` to common `wp_edit_theme_plugin_file()` function.

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.
