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.

While web crawlers are able to discover pages from links within the site and from other sites, XML sitemaps supplement this approach by allowing crawlers to quickly and comprehensively identify all URLs included in the sitemap and learn other signals about those URLs using the associated metadata.
See https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/10/merge-announcement-extensible-core-sitemaps/ for more details.
This feature exposes the sitemap index via `/wp-sitemap.xml` and exposes a variety of new filters and hooks for developers to modify the behavior. Users can disable sitemaps completely by turning off search engine visibility in WordPress admin.
This change also introduces a new `esc_xml()` function to escape strings for output in XML, as well as XML support to `wp_kses_normalize_entities()`.

Previously, `wp_favicon_request()` was introduced in [13205] to avoid a performance hit of serving a full 404 page on every favicon request.
While working as intended, that implementation did not provide a way for theme or plugin authors to manage the behavior of favicon requests.
This changeset implements the following logic (only applied if WordPress is installed in the root directory):
* If there is a Site Icon set in Customizer, redirect `/favicon.ico` requests to that icon.
* Otherwise, use the WordPress logo as a default icon.
* If a physical `/favicon.ico` file exists, do nothing, let the server handle the request.
Handling `/favicon.ico` is now more consistent with handling `/robots.txt` requests.
New functions and hooks:
* Introduce `is_favicon()` conditional tag to complement `is_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_favicon` action to complement `do_robots` and use it in template loader.
* Introduce `do_favicon()` function, hooked to the above action by default, to complement `do_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_faviconico` action to complement `do_robotstxt`, for plugins to override the default behavior.
* Mark `wp_favicon_request()` as deprecated in favor of `do_favicon()`.

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.

If a fatal error occurs midway through a page load, or in a REST API request, it still needs to be handled internally for the recovery mode, but the custom message may conflict with already rendered output, e.g. by displaying HTML markup in an XML or JSON request.

Using the new fatal handler introduced in [44962], an email is sent to the admin when a fatal error occurs. This email includes a secret link to enter recovery mode. When clicked, the link will be validated and on success a cookie will be placed on the client, enabling recovery mode for that user. This functionality is executed early before plugins and themes are loaded, in order to be unaffected by potential fatal errors these might be causing.
When in recovery mode, broken plugins and themes will be paused for that client, so that they are able to access the admin backend despite of these errors. They are notified about the broken extensions and the errors caused, and can then decide whether they would like to temporarily deactivate the extension or fix the problem and resume the extension.
A link in the admin bar allows the client to exit recovery mode.

This changeset introduces a `WP_Fatal_Error_Handler` class that detects fatal errors and displays a more user-friendly message about the site experiencing technical difficulties.
Websites that have custom requirements in that regard can implement their own fatal error handler by adding a `fatal-error-handler.php` drop-in that returns the handler instance to use, which must be based on a class that inherits `WP_Fatal_Error_Handler`. That handler will then be used in place of the default one. Alternatively, the fatal error handler feature can be completely disable through a constant `WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER`.
Websites that would like to modify specifically the error template displayed in the frontend can add a `php-error.php` drop-in that works similarly to the existing `db-error.php` drop-in. For more granular customization, the fatal error handler also includes new filters `wp_should_handle_php_error`, `wp_php_error_message` and `wp_php_error_args`.

The `WP_Shutdown_Handler` name plus related function names were premature when originally committed, as there can be multiple shutdown handlers in PHP, and WordPress makes use of that feature. This changeset modifies the name to a more appropriate `WP_Fatal_Error_Handler`, and related to that changes the following names:
* The drop-in to override the handler is now called `fatal-error-handler.php`.
* The internal function `wp_register_premature_shutdown_handler` is now called `wp_register_fatal_error_handler()`.
In addition to these naming changes, a new constant `WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER` is introduced that can be set in `wp-config.php` to entirely disable the fatal error handler. That constant's value is and should be accessed indirectly via a new `wp_is_fatal_error_handler_enabled()` function and is filterable via a new `wp_fatal_error_handler_enabled` hook. Note that disabling the fatal error handler will skip the new functionality entirely, including the potentially used `fatal-error-handler.php` drop-in.
The new set of constant, filter and function provide for an easier-to-use mechanism to disable the fatal error handler altogether, rather than requiring developers to implement a drop-in for purely that purpose.

This changeset introduces a `WP_Shutdown_Handler` class that detects fatal errors and which extension (plugin or theme) causes them. Such an error is then recorded, and an error message is displayed. Subsequently, in certain protected areas, for example the admin, the broken extension will be paused, ensuring that the website is still usable in the respective area. The major benefit is that this mechanism allows site owners to still log in to their website, to fix the problem by either disabling the extension or solving the bug and then resuming the extension.
Extensions are only paused in certain designated areas. The frontend for example stays unaffected, as it is impossible to know what pausing the extension would cause to be missing, so it might be preferrable to clearly see that the website is temporarily not accessible instead.
The fatal error recovery is especially important in scope of encouraging the switch to a maintained PHP version, as not necessarily every WordPress extension is compatible with all PHP versions. If problems occur now, non-technical site owners that do not have immediate access to the codebase are not locked out of their site and can at least temporarily solve the problem quickly.
Websites that have custom requirements in that regard can implement their own shutdown handler by adding a `shutdown-handler.php` drop-in that returns the handler instance to use, which must be based on a class that inherits `WP_Shutdown_Handler`. That handler will then be used in place of the default one.
Websites that would like to modify specifically the error template displayed in the frontend can add a `php-error.php` drop-in that works similarly to the existing `db-error.php` drop-in.

- Adds `WP_REST_Autosaves_Controller` which extends `WP_REST_Revisions_Controller`.
- Autosaves endpoint is registered for all post types except attachment because even post types without revisions enabled are expected to autosave.
- Because setting the `DOING_AUTOSAVE` constant pollutes the test suite, autosaves tests are run last. We may want to improve upon this later.
Also, use a truly impossibly high number in User Controller tests. The number `100`, (or `7777` in `trunk`), could be valid in certain test run configurations. The `REST_TESTS_IMPOSSIBLY_HIGH_NUMBER` constant is impossibly high for this very reason.
Finally, Skip Autosaves controller test for multisite. There's a PHP 5.2 edge case where paths calculated differently, possibly caused by differing version of PHPUnit.
