Since WordPress 6.5, the minimum supported version of MySQL and MariaDB is 5.5.5. This means all supported database servers now support the `utf8mb4` character set and therefore the conditional logic for this is no longer necessary.

Fix an issue where a cron job ran every 12 hours to check for https support - even when https support was already enabled. The check is now run only when the user visits the Site Health page. Reducing the unneeded requests lowers the impact and load of hosting WordPress sites.
The `wp_update_https_detection_errors` function is deprecated and the `https_detection_errors` option that was previously set by the cron job is no longer maintained. The `pre_wp_update_https_detection_errors` filter is deprecated and replaced by the `pre_wp_get_https_detection_errors` filter which serves the same function.

If the available disk space exceeds the `PHP_INT_MAX` value, i.e. a 32-bit PHP version is in use with more than 2 GB free, the type casting to `(int)` could cause an overflow, and the Site Health test would then erroneously report that there is not enough free space.
This commit removes the unnecessary type casting and uses the result from `disk_free_space()` directly.
Includes optimizing the logic to skip further checks if the available disk space could not be determined.

With the introduction of temporary backups of plugins and themes before updating, a new Site Health test was added to verify that plugin and theme temporary backup directories are writable or can be created.
When using a non-direct filesystem, the Site Health test did not include the required credentials, leading to a fatal error as the connection was not initialized properly.
This commit attemps to use the stored credentials if available, and displays a message otherwise.
Includes a similar fix in a function that performs a cleanup of the temporary backup directory.

`str_contains()` was introduced in PHP 8.0 to perform a case-sensitive check indicating if the string to search in (haystack) contains the given substring (needle).
WordPress core includes a polyfill for `str_contains()` on PHP < 8.0 as of WordPress 5.9.

This aims to make the update process more reliable and ensures that if a plugin or theme update fails, the previous version can be safely restored.
* When updating a plugin or theme, the old version is moved to a temporary backup directory:
* `wp-content/upgrade-temp-backup/plugins/[plugin-slug]` for plugins
* `wp-content/upgrade-temp-backup/themes/[theme-slug]` for themes.
* If the update fails, then the backup kept in the temporary backup directory is restored to its original location.
* If the update succeeds, the temporary backup is deleted.
To further help troubleshoot plugin and theme updates, two new checks were added to the Site Health screen:
* A check to make sure that the `upgrade-temp-backup` directory is writable.
* A check that there is enough disk space available to safely perform updates.
To avoid confusion: The temporary backup directory will NOT be used to “roll back” a plugin to a previous version after a completed update. This directory will simply contain a transient backup of the previous version of a plugin or theme being updated, and as soon as the update process finishes, the directory will be empty.

`str_starts_with()` was introduced in PHP 8.0 to perform a case-sensitive check indicating if the string to search in (haystack) begins with the given substring (needle).
WordPress core includes a polyfill for `str_starts_with()` on PHP < 8.0 as of WordPress 5.9.
This commit replaces `0 === strpos( ... )` with `str_starts_with()` in core files, making the code more readable and consistent, as well as improving performance.
While `strpos()` is slightly faster than the polyfill on PHP < 8.0, `str_starts_with()` is noticeably faster on PHP 8.0+, as it is optimized to avoid unnecessarily searching along the whole haystack if it does not find the needle.

Adding this vital piece of detail, along with a revamp of the error messages shown, where previously there was a risk that the markup of your website was included as an error message, improves the overall user experience, and gives more accurate details that can be looked when looking up how to fix or improve the behavior of the REST API.

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 changeset adds a new `page_cache` check which determines whether the site uses a full page cache, and in addition assesses the server response time. If no page cache is present and the server response time is slow, the check will suggest use of a page cache.
A few filters are included for customization of the check:
* `site_status_good_response_time_threshold` filters the number of milliseconds below which the server response time is considered good. The default value is based on the `server-response-time` Lighthouse audit and can be altered using this filter.
* `site_status_page_cache_supported_cache_headers` filters the map of supported cache headers and their callback to determine whether it was a cache hit. The default list includes commonly used cache headers, and it is filterable to support e.g. additional cache headers used by specific vendors.
Note that due to the nature of this check it is only run in production environments.

This changeset adds a new `persistent_object_cache` check which determines whether the site uses a persistent object cache, and if not, recommends it if it is beneficial for the site. A support resource to learn more about object caching has been created and is linked in the check.
A few filters are included for customization of the check, aimed primarily at hosting providers to provide more specific information in regards to their environment:
* `site_status_persistent_object_cache_url` filters the URL to learn more about object caching, so that e.g. a hosting-specific object caching support resource could be linked.
* `site_status_persistent_object_cache_notes` filters the notes added to the check description, so that more fine tuned information on object caching based on the environment can be provided.
* `site_status_should_suggest_persistent_object_cache` is a short-circuit filter which allows using entirely custom logic to determine whether a persistent object cache would make sense for the site.
* `site_status_persistent_object_cache_thresholds` filters the thresholds in the default logic to determine whether a persistent object cache would make sense for the site, which is based on the amount of data in the database.
Note that due to the nature of this check it is only run in production environments.
