Per [https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/php/#writing-include-require-statements WordPress PHP coding standards], it is ''strongly recommended'' to use `require[_once]` for unconditional includes. When using `include[_once]`, PHP will throw a warning when the file is not found but will continue execution, which will almost certainly lead to other errors/warnings/notices being thrown if your application depends on the file loaded, potentially leading to security leaks. For that reason, `require[_once]` is generally the better choice as it will throw a `Fatal Error` if the file cannot be found.

This brings more consistency with other screens and avoids a PHP warning in `get_plugin_page_hookname()`:
{{{
preg_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated
}}}

This changes updates many strings to remove self-references to an undefined "we" collective across the WordPress Administration.
The goal of this change is to better match the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the make/core handbook, specifically:
> the word "we" should be avoided (…) unless its made very clear which group is speaking.

The Privacy settings pages now use the same design patterns as the Site Health screen. Additionally, each privacy policy guide is now contained in an accordion to make the page easier to navigate when multiple plugins are in use.

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`
