This brings the name in line with user-facing language and similar names of existing related capabilities. Since the capability has not been part of any WordPress release, it can be renamed without any backward-compatibility implications.
Also missing props benhuberman for [43006].

Previously, personal data exports were stored in `wp-content/uploads/exports`, which is generic enough that it's likely there are existing folders with that name, either created by plugins or manually by administrators. If that folder were reused by Core, then `wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files()` would delete all of the existing files inside it, which is almost certainly not what the site owner wants or expects.
To avoid that, the folder is being renamed to include a specific reference to Core, and a more verbose description of its purpose. With those factored in, it's very unlikely that there will be any conflicts with existing folders.
The `wp_privacy_exports_dir()` and `wp_privacy_exports_url()` functions were introduced to provide a canonical source for the location, and the `wp_privacy_exports_dir` and `wp_privacy_exports_url` filters were introduced to allow plugins to customize it.

r43158 introduced a new admin pointer for the privacy tools added in 4.9.6. With the previous positioning, though, sometimes the `Dismiss` link would be fixed off screen, making it impossible for the user to dismiss the pointer. This happened when there were enough extra menu items, or when the viewport height was short enough.
This commit repositions the pointer to work around that problem. One down side of this workaround is that the arrow will not always be positioned next to the `Tools` menu, where it should be. That's an acceptable compromise given the current time constraints, though. A long term solution would be to make `WP_Pointer` robust enough to handle this use case.

Previously, when a plugin updated its suggested privacy policy text, an admin notice was shown on all screens in the Administration Panels. That was done in order to make sure that administrators were aware of it, so that they could update their policy if needed. That was a very heavy-handed and intrusive approach, though, which leads to a poor user experience, and notice fatigue.
An alternative approach is to use bubble notifications in the menu, similar to when plugins have updates that need to be installed. That still makes it obvious that something needs the administrator's attention, but is not as distracting as a notice.
The notice will still appear on the Privacy page, though, since it is relevant to that screen, and provides an explanation of why the bubble is appearing.

Previously the pointer overlapped the menu in order to draw attention to the fact that it applies to both the `Tools` and `Settings` menus. That caused a conflict if the menu was collapsed, though, because the icons were covered by the pointer and therefore inaccessible.
Additionally, minor tweaks were made to the text order and formatting. The order of the two sections was swapped in the title and paragraph, in order to match the order of the corresponding menu items. The spacing around headings and paragraphs was tweaked to remove extraneous whitespace.

- Separate the guide text form the suggested policy text.
- Add table of content for easier navigation.
- Move the content to tools.php (prevents the settings menu of being open).
- Add a link to the guide from the Privacy settings screen.

r42986 introduced the beginnings of an Ajax handler for processing requests to erase personal data. At the time, a method for marking requests as completed was planned, but had not yet been created. This commit introduces that mechanism, bringing the erasure process closer to completion.

r43008 refactored the request flow to make several improvements, but accidentally marked `completed` requests as `confirmed`. This commit restores the intended statuses, so that the data and corresponding UI reflect reality.

Whenever an admin initiates a download or email of a personal data export, a fresh copy of the file is generated. Previously, a new filename was used each time, which could lead to situations where a URL that was emailed to a data subject is broken.
That can be avoided by reusing the same filename when building fresh archives.
