Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.
There are a number of ways to mitigate this:
* If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo.
* For known properties: declare them on the class.
* For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al. methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly optimized versions of these magic methods built in.
* For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes.
Trac ticket #56034 is open to investigate and handle the third and fourth type of situations, however it has become clear this will need more time and will not be ready in time for WP 6.1.
To reduce “noise” in the meantime, both in the error logs of WP users moving onto PHP 8.2, in the test run logs of WP itself, in test runs of plugins and themes, as well as to prevent duplicate tickets from being opened for the same issue, this commit adds the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute to all “parent” classes in WP.
The logic used for this commit is as follows:
* If a class already has the attribute: no action needed.
* If a class does not `extend`: add the attribute.
* If a class does `extend`:
- If it extends `stdClass`: no action needed (as `stdClass` supports dynamic properties).
- If it extends a PHP native class: add the attribute.
- If it extends a class from one of WP's external dependencies: add the attribute.
* In all other cases: no action — the attribute should not be needed as child classes inherit from the parent.
Whether or not a class contains magic methods has not been taken into account, as a review of the currently existing magic methods has shown that those are generally not sturdy enough and often even set dynamic properties (which they should not). See the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE live stream from August 16, 2022] for more details.
This commit only affects classes in the `src` directory of WordPress core.
* Tests should not get this attribute, but should be fixed to not use dynamic properties instead. Patches for this are already being committed under ticket #56033.
* While a number bundled themes (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021) contain classes, they are not a part of this commit and may be updated separately.

This changes updates many strings to remove self-references to an undefined "we" collective across the WordPress Administration.
The goal of this change is to better match the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the make/core handbook, specifically:
> the word "we" should be avoided (…) unless its made very clear which group is speaking.

This change switches out `sprintf` for `printf` on the "Copy suggested policy text from..." button screen reader text. Also, wrap the actual button text in a `<span aria-hidden="true">` to prevent both the button text and the screen reader text from being spoken.

The Privacy settings pages now use the same design patterns as the Site Health screen. Additionally, each privacy policy guide is now contained in an accordion to make the page easier to navigate when multiple plugins are in use.

Improves accessibility of the "Copy this section" button and "Return to Top" link:
- uses `setTimeout()` and `clearTimeout()` to properly handle the "Copied!" text
- simplifies the button text by removing the redundant visually hidden text
- fixes the mismatching visual and DOM order of the Copy button and the "Return to Top" link
- improves the "Return to Top" links by providing real page fragment identifiers, when possible
- hides the "Return to Top" up arrow from assistive technologies
- minor coding standards

Per WCAG 2.0 guidelines, big chunks of italic text should be avoided for better accessibility.
Additionally, replace the legacy `.error` class for "You deactivated this plugin and may no longer need this policy" message with `.notice-info`.

* Add missing translator comments.
* Fix placement of some translator comments. 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. The CS auto-fixing, which changed some inconsistent function calls to multi-line function calls, is part of the reason why this was no longer the case for a select group of translator comments.
Includes minor code layout fixes.
Polyglots, rejoice! All WordPress core files now have translator comments for all strings with placeholders!
