Following the introduction of `is_login_screen()` in [53884], it is time to reconsider the `is_*_admin()` functions:
* `is_admin()`: Determines whether the current request is for an administrative interface page.
* `is_blog_admin()`: Whether the current request is for a site's administrative interface, e.g. `/wp-admin/`.
* `is_network_admin()`: Whether the current request is for the network administrative interface, e.g. `/wp-admin/network/`.
* `is_user_admin()`: Whether the current request is for a user admin screen, e.g. `/wp-admin/user/`.
For someone new to WordPress, these names can be quite confusing, especially the last one. When using these functions, one always needs to remember that they don't actually check if the current user is a site administrator.
To complicate things further, there is one more similarly named function that does exactly the latter:
* `is_super_admin()`: Determines whether user is a site admin.
With the above in mind, this commit introduces aliases that better match the functionality and allow for more descriptive code:
* `is_admin()` → `is_admin_screen()`
* `is_blog_admin()` → `is_site_admin_screen()`
* `is_network_admin()` → `is_network_admin_screen()`
* `is_user_admin()` → `is_user_admin_screen()`
Additionally, `is_super_admin_user()` is introduced as an alias for `is_super_admin()`:
* `is_super_admin()` → `is_super_admin_user()`
Plugins and themes are encouraged to start using the newer function names to make code self-descriptive and bring more clarity. The older names are not deprecated at this time, though it may be up for discussion in the future.

Replace logic found in `get_network_option`, `update_network_option` and `delete_network_option` to use the metadata api. Using the metadata api has a number of benefits, such as consistency, default values and useful filters. This change also improves performance by priming the caches of all network options in a single database request.

This should help determine whether the current request is for the login screen.
While it does not save a lot of lines of code, including this function in core aims to save developers some time that would otherwise be spent investigating the most reliable way to solve this problem.
Implementation details:
* By checking `wp_login_url()`, the function accounts for custom login locations set via the `login_url` filter.
* By checking `$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']` directly, instead of `did_action( 'login_form_login' )` or `$pagenow` global, the function can work as early as possible, for example in a must-use plugin.

When `add_filter( 'wp_is_application_passwords_available', '__return_false' )` exists, HTTPS requirement message is shown even if HTTPS is enabled on the site. This happens because `wp_is_application_passwords_available_for_user()` first invokes `wp_is_application_passwords_available()` which is filterable. The situation could happen if the `'wp_is_application_passwords_available_for_user'` filter returns `false`.
To fix this, the check for HTTPS (or if in a 'local' environment) is moved to a new function called `wp_is_application_passwords_supported()`. Then the return from this function is used as an OR condition for the Application Passwords section and for displaying the HTTPS required message.
Tests are included for both `wp_is_application_passwords_supported()` and `wp_is_application_passwords_available()`.

As of November 2021, the `HTTP/3` protocol is still officially an Internet Draft, but is already supported by 74% of running web browsers and, according to W3Techs, 23% of the top 10 million websites. It has been supported by Google Chrome (including Chrome for Android, and Microsoft Edge, which is based on it) since April 2020 and by Mozilla Firefox since May 2021. Safari 14 (on macOS Big Sur and iOS 14) has also implemented the protocol but support is hidden behind a feature flag.

Adds timer_float which can be used to get the time elapsed so far during the PHP script. Should make it easier to display the page generation time in the footer of admin.
WordPress should expose timing data as a float in the most accurate manner possible. timer_stop() has two problems: it uses an initial timestamp generated later than it needs to be and its formatted return value can not reliably be used as a number (some locales swap commas and periods, for example).

In [49752] a check was added to prevent creating new Application Passwords if Basic Auth credentials were detected to prevent conflicts. This check takes place in WP-Admin, though a conflict would only arise if Basic Auth was used on the website's front-end.
This commit extracts the Basic Auth check into a reusable function, `wp_is_site_protected_by_basic_auth()`, which can be adjusted using a filter of the same name. This way, a site that uses Basic Auth to protect WP-Admin can still use the Application Passwords feature.
In the future, instead of requiring the use of a filter, WordPress could make a loopback request and check for a `WWW-Authenticate` header to make this detection more robust out of the box.

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.

For a number of years, most of the WordPress error messages have been prefixed with "Error:". However, these messages appear in a context where it's already clear an error occurred. Whether it's an error, a warning, or any other classification, that's not so relevant for users. The content of the message is the relevant part. The "Error:" prefix doesn't add great value while it does add unnecessary complexity for the message readability.

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()`.

- 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.

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.

Due to the high number of follow-up tickets and associated security concerns, it was decided to reschedule the fatal error recovery feature for WordPress 5.2, in order to address these issues properly. The feature will continue to be developed, with iterations being merged into trunk early in the 5.2 release cycle.
Fixes#46141. See #44458, #45932, #45940, #46038, #46047, #46068.

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.

Because WP REST API requests aren't identified until `parse_request`, it's impractical to reference the `REST_REQUEST` constant in `wp_debug_mode()`. Instead, it's more helpful to assume that a request wanting a JSON response probably doesn't want PHP errors breaking the response.

WPCS 1.0.0 includes a bunch of new auto-fixers, which drops the number of coding standards issues across WordPress significantly. Prior to running the auto-fixers, there were 15,312 issues detected. With this commit, we now drop to 4,769 issues.
This change includes three notable additions:
- Multiline function calls must now put each parameter on a new line.
- Auto-formatting files is now part of the `grunt precommit` script.
- Auto-fixable coding standards issues will now cause Travis failures.
Fixes#44600.

A new global multisite table `wp_blogmeta` is added to the database schema, and a set of `*_site_meta()` API functions are introduced.
The implementation fails gracefully when the new table is not yet available, which may happen especially shortly after the core update, before the network has been upgraded to the new database schema. The presence of the table is detected once and stored as a global setting on the main network.
Core does not yet use site metadata, but there are several use-cases to be implemented or explored in the near future, and it allows plugins to extend sites with arbitrary data, which will come in particularly handy with the upcoming REST API endpoint for sites.

Rework logic for how external object caches are detected, so that if
an external cache does not define a `wp_cache_init()`, the built-in
object cache will be used.
Object caches can now wrap their entire contents in logic checks. So a
Redis caching backend could make sure that the `Redis` PHP class is
available before defining all the caching functions. And if Redis is
not available, the site doesn't break or throw errors or think it is
using caching when it isn't. This is particularly useful for doing
local development, where you might want to develop on a site without
running Memcache or Redis like you are in production.
* Accounts for multisite, which may re-initialize the object cache
multiple times.
* Accounts for object caches that may include `object-cache.php` during
`advanced-cache.php` (before WP loads it).
