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 renames some variables for clarity, per the [https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/php/#naming-conventions Naming Conventions]:
> Don’t abbreviate variable names unnecessarily; let the code be unambiguous and self-documenting.
* `$out` is renamed to `$output` in various list table methods and admin functions.
* `$sep` is renamed to `$separator` in various list table methods and admin functions.
This affects:
* `WP_Comments_List_Table::handle_row_actions()`
* `WP_List_Table::row_actions()`
* `WP_Media_List_Table::column_default()`
* `WP_MS_Sites_List_Table::site_states()`
* `WP_MS_Users_List_Table::column_blogs()`

Improve the performance of `WP_List_Table::get_column_info()` by adding the primary column to the cached header values. This reduces the number of calls to the `WP_List_Table::get_primary_column_name()` method to once per table in line with the other header getter functions.

While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use reserved keywords as function parameter names.
This commit renames the `$default` parameter to `$default_value` in `WP_List_Table::get_items_per_page()`.

Previously the first and last page pagination buttons were disabled when on their next or previous page respectively. This commit removes that unnecessary logic to keep these buttons enabled and avoid confusion in the user's navigation workflow.
New behavior:
- When on page 2, the go to first page `«` button is enabled
- When on the page before the last page, the go to last page `»` button is enabled

This joyous marriage means that users will no longer find a selected top bulk action on a list table unexpectedly being applied instead of their selected bottom bulk action. The top and bottom controls for changing user roles are equally wedded forever too.

Using the canonical function name for PHP functions is strongly recommended, as aliases may be deprecated or removed without (much) warning.
This replaces all uses of the following:
* `join()` with `implode()`
* `sizeof()` with `count()`
* `is_writeable()` with `is_writable()`
* `doubleval()` with a `(float)` cast

* `WP_List_Table::get_default_primary_column_name()` is a protected method, so calling it statically with the class name is bad practice.
* Similarly, this applies when calling a private constructor in `WP_Screen::get()`.

The allowed format for bulk actions is now an associative array where each element represents either a top level option value and label, or an array representing an optgroup and its options.
For a standard option, the array element key is the field value and the array element value is the field label.
For an optgroup, the array element key is the label and the array element value is an associative array of options as above.
