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 avoids the performance overhead of the function call every time `dirname( __FILE__ )` was used instead of `__DIR__`.
This commit also includes:
* Removing unnecessary parentheses from `include`/`require` statements. These are language constructs, not function calls.
* Replacing `include` statements for several files with `require_once`, for consistency:
* `wp-admin/admin-header.php`
* `wp-admin/admin-footer.php`
* `wp-includes/version.php`

The `WP_Customize_New_Menu_Control` and `WP_Customize_New_Menu_Section` PHP classes and `wp.customize.Menus.NewMenuControl` JS class were deprecated in 4.9 through [42034] with the intention of removing them in 5.0. Since more time has passed than originally intended, this change leaves `WP_Customize_New_Menu_Control` and `WP_Customize_New_Menu_Section` to prevent any potential backwards compatibility issues, and formally deprecates them. The `wp.customize.Menus.NewMenuControl` JS class is removed.

This tag has been used in the past, but should no longer be used. Just using the `static` keyword in code is enough for PhpDocumentor on PHP5+ to recognize static variables and methods, and PhpDocumentor will mark them as static.

Often, folks run into two issues when they create new menus: they click "Add a Menu" thinking it will add a new page to their menu, or they forget to assign their new menu to a location, and then wonder why it doesn't show up on their site.
This commit rearranges the order of items in the menu panel, and updates the flow for creating a menu by breaking it up into steps. Additionally, more help text has been added to guide people through the process of creating a menu.
Also adds default `type` lookups for Panel and Section instances. See #30741.

* Adds a `notifications` property to instances of `wp.customize.Panel` and `wp.customize.Section`.
* Adds a `setupNotifications()` method to `Panel`, `Section`, and `Control`.
* Adds a `getNotificationsContainerElement()` method to the `Panel` and `Section` classes, like `Control` has.
* Replace hard-coded notification in header media section with a notification.
* Limit rendering notifications to panels and sections that are expanded, and to controls that have an expanded section.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.

* Custom CSS is associated with a given theme and is displayed in an inline `style` element at the `wp_head` hook after the `wp_print_styles` is called so that it overrides any enqueued stylesheets.
* A `wp_get_custom_css()` function is used for accessing the CSS associated with the current theme (or another theme) and a `wp_get_custom_css` filter for manipulating it.
* CSS is managed in customizer via a new "Additional CSS" section with a single `textarea` control.
* `WP_Customize_Section::$description_hidden` is introduced for hiding extended descriptions in customizer sections behind a help toggle as done with panels.
* CSS is stored in a `custom_css` post type with the theme (stylesheet) slug as the `post_name`.
* `WP_Customize_Custom_CSS_Setting` is introduced to handle validation of CSS, previewing, and persisting the CSS to the `custom_css` post type.
* The `custom_css` setting is tied to a new `unfiltered_css` capability which maps to `unfiltered_html` by default.
* Escaping the message in the notification template is removed to allow markup (`code` tags) to be rendered.

* `wp-admin` and `wp-includes` are scanned for classes to autoload
* Several 3rd-party and Ryan McCue-shaped libraries are excluded when the classmap is generated, see `composer.json`: `autoload.exclude-from-classmap`
* `wp-vendor/autoload_52.php` is included at the top of `wp-settings.php` - no changes need to be made to unit tests to include the autoloader
* An avalanche of `require()` and `require_once()` calls that loaded class files have been removed from the codebase.
The following files have been added to `svn:ignore` - they are not 5.2-compatible and fail during pre-commit:
* src/wp-vendor/autoload.php
* src/wp-vendor/composer/autoload_real.php
* src/wp-vendor/composer/autoload_static.php
* src/wp-vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php
We favor these files instead:
* src/wp-vendor/autoload_52.php
* src/wp-vendor/composer/autoload_real_52.php
* src/wp-vendor/composer/ClassLoader52.php
When new PHP classes are added to the codebase, simply run `composer install` or `composer update` from the project root to update the autoloader.
The future is now.

Known functions, classes, and methods are now auto-linked in Code Reference pages following #meta1483.
Note: Hook references are still linked via inline `@see` tags due to the unlikelihood of reliably matching for known hooks based on a RegEx pattern.
