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.

Proximity of related information is an inclusive design principle that benefits everyone and it's particularly important for users with reduced visual field, low vision, or other vision or cognitive impairments. User interface controls that are logically grouped should be placed close to each other.
Also, this change makes the buttons visual order and the DOM order match.

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.

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.

In many a strange and curious file of forgotten lore—
While I pondered, blaming Nacin, my notifications suddenly awakened,
As of someone quietly DMing;—DMing me, I can’t ignore.
“’Tis some contributor,” I muttered, “DMing me an idea or four—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember, at WordCamp US, last December;
A mad proposal nearly laid me—down out cold—upon the floor.
Curious, I listened closely;—to a plan I agreed with, mostly—
A way to make our JavaScript—JavaScript which was a chore—
Maintainable, extendable, for the future, is what I saw.
Guten-ready for evermore.
Open here I switch to Slack, when, with many a patch and hack,
In there stepped Omar, a JavaScript developer hardcore;
Pronouncing all the changes fit; ready now to be commit;
“There’s nothing else for us to do,” DMing me, “It’s done!” he swore—
“No longer random guessing at which file need next be explored—
Let’s move on, we’re all aboard.”
Moved all together, grouped and managed, in folders all is packaged,
The code had all been cleaned and tidied, important parts moved to the fore,
“Though this change be useful here,” I said, “it is too large, I fear,
We couldn’t manage such a patch, we’ve done nothing like this before—
Tell me where doth go this change, change to make our codebase soar!”
Quoth Omar, “In WordPress Core.”

- Depending on which icons the plugin has uploaded, prefer them in this order: `svg`, `128x128`, `256x256`.
- Improve the style of the fallback icon for plugins that don't have an icon defined.

Unify the theme-browsing and theme-customization experiences by introducing a comprehensive theme browser and installer directly accessible in the customizer. Replaces the customizer theme switcher with a full-screen panel for discovering/browsing and installing themes available on WordPress.org. Themes can now be installed and previewed directly in the customizer without entering the wp-admin context. Also includes an extensible framework for browsing and installing themes from other sources.
Also includes CSS auto-prefixing added via `grunt precommit:css`.

Given the new WordPress browsers support policy, the `screen-reader-text` css
class used in the admin can be updated to use modern CSS and correct syntax. See
https://github.com/wpaccessibility/a11ythemepatterns/blob/master/read-more-links/style.css
Worth noting the `clip` property is deprecated and kept for IE11 and Edge.
- uses `clip-path` for modern browsers
- keeps `clip` for old browsers and update its value to a correct syntax
- resets `clip-path` to `none` where the class is used to dynamically reveal elements
- removes an old rule that made `screen-reader-text` completely invisible in the help tabs `#screen-meta`
- standardizes the rule across CSS files

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

Introduces some consistency in the usage of the button CSS classes, fixes the
focus style for accessibility and responsiveness of the buttons.
- Adds the `button` class to all primary buttons make them responsive
- Removes all `secondary-button` classes and replaces it with button when needed. `button-secondary` shouldn't be used and exists just for backward compatibility reasons
- Replaces classes inside `submit_button()` with a shorthand for some buttons, and use an empty string for the default `button` class. Passing `button` is unnecessary
- Adjusts `get_submit_button()` to remove empty items
