Old browsers didn't support the HTML placeholder attribute. For a number of years, `<label>` elements have been used in a few places in WordPress to emulate placeholders. It's time to improve semantics and interaction, use real placeholders when possible, and clean up some JavaScript.
- Quick Draft widget: it now uses visible `<label>` elements and a real `placeholder` attribute
- removes the related JavaScript
- Post title:
- keeps the "prompt" label for backwards compatibility
- improves the JavaScript to make the "prompt" label stay visible on focus and disappear when typing, like real placeholder do
- changes the post "prompt" text from "Enter title here" to "Add title" for consistency with the Block Editor
- cleans-up some CSS

As many WordPress sites use a static homepage rather than a blog, this link gives a natural next step for new sites owners wanting to configure their site in this manner.

Updates package dependencies to more modern versions, also adds .nvmrc and package-lock.json as followups to [43683] and [43571].
Merge notes: trunk already had an identical .nvmrc. package-lock.json exists in trunk, but has some changes based on the dependency updates.

The updated version of the nag is shorter, more on point and less aggressive than the previous one. It integrates better with the other dashboard widgets and fixes several accessibility concerns. A yellow warning color is used when the current PHP version is outdated, a red error color is used when it is also insecure.

This new dashboard widget is shown on WordPress sites which are powered by a PHP version which WordPress considers outdated, in order to inform site owners about the resulting problems and to explain how to upgrade to a supported version. An education page for that purpose has been previously created that the widget links to. The link is translatable so that localized versions of the page can be referred to as they become available.
The nag follows the example of the Browse Happy dashboard widget and is only visible for administrators, or network administrators when using multisite. To determine whether it needs to be displayed, a new wordpress.org API introduced prior is called that handles the version logic in a centralized location.

Reverting this for 4.9. It will be added back in a future version of WordPress. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't be trying Gutenberg, just that it isn't ready for a call out to a larger audience. But if you are the type to read commit messages, https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg could use your pull requests and comments on issues.

WordPress no longer supports many old old browsers: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/04/23/target-browser-coverage/
This also removes alot of no longer necessary CSS. It served us well, but we are never getting back together with IE8,9,10.
So, in the (paraphrased) words of Taylor Swift:
I remember when we dropped support the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough, " 'cause like
We hadn't seen many users in a month
When you said you needed flexbox. (What?)
Then you postMessage again and say
"IE8, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate the box model, " we break up, you call me, "I love css-grids."
Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
You go talk to EDGE, talk to my FIREFOX, talk to CHROME
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever...
