In many common Multisite use cases, the network administrator will want to set a network-wide privacy policy -- via the `privacy_policy_url` filter -- for consistency and convenience. When that's done, the Privacy Settings screen on individual sites becomes unnecessary, and may confuse administrators of those sites when they see that their changes don't have any effect on the policy link in the footer.
Since we can't programatically determine which behavior the network admins would like, the safest default setting is to restrict the ability to super admins, and let them delegate it to individual site owners via a plugin, if they'd like to.

The page was originally placed under `Tools` so that it would be grouped with the pages to export and erase personal data, since they're all part of the effort to bring privacy management tools to Core ahead of GDPR's deadline. After more consideration, though, it makes sense to move this page to the `Settings` menu, since it's fundamental purpose is to configure an option, rather than to facilitate a recurring task. This keeps all of the configuration pages in a single place, making them consistent and easier to find.
Exporting and erasing personal data are recurring tasks, so they still make sense under the `Tools` menu.

In these contexts, "privacy policy" is not a proper noun, and therefore should not be capitalized.
The remaining uses are page titles and section headers, where capitalization is appropriate.

The previous sentence was gramatically awkward, and using the term "compliance" could accidentally be mistaken by a site owner for a promise by WordPress that their site will be compliant after using the tool, which is not necessarily true.

Non-wrapping `label`s are more widely supported by assitive technologies. The CSS changes account for the element re-ordering, and tweak the formatting for improved readability.

Personal data collection is more likely for registered users than casual visitors, and the privacy policy might have been updated since a user last logged in. Those changes could impact the collection of personal data from registered users, so it makes sense to provide a link to the policy before users log in.

Historically, the REST API would generate the entire response object, including running expensive filters, then it would apply the `_fields` parameter, discarding the fields that weren't specificed.
This change causes `_fields` to be applied earlier, so that only requested fields are processed.

Multisite networks have a variety of use cases, and in many of them single-site administrators are not trusted to take actions that affect the whole network, require making decisions about legal compliance, etc. By default, those actions should require super admin capabilities. Plugins can be used to override that behavior if a particular site's use case calls for it.

If a privacy policy has been set, then a link to it will automatically be shown in the footer.
The element containing the "Proudly powered by WordPress" link was chosen for the new policy link, in order to minimize visual conflicts with custom CSS that was written before the new link existed. Unfortunately, some minor conflicts are expected and unavoidable. Adding this link is required as part of GDPR compliance, and the benefits outweigh the downsides.
To further mitigate the conflicts, a new `imprint` class was added to the "Proudly powered..." link, in order to facilitate targeting each link invididually with custom styles.

* `wp_unschedule_hook()`: integer indicating number of jobs cleared (zero or more), `false` if the jobs fail to clear,
* `spawn_cron()`: boolean indicating whether job spawned,
* `wp_cron()`: integer indicating number of jobs spawned (zero or more), `false` if one or more jobs fail to spawned,

The `get_term()` mapping may result in term objects that are `null` or
`WP_Error` when plugins use `get_term` or a related filter. Since `null`
and error objects are not valid results for a term query, we discard
them.

This runs immediately after the data export file has been successfully created, allowing plugins to introduce some workflow customizations. For example, a plugin could password-protect the export file, for peace of mind, even though the CSPRN in the filename makes brute force attacks nearly impossible.

The primary means of protecting the files is the CSPRN appended to the filename, but there is no reason to keep the files after the data subject has downloaded them, so deleting them provides an additional layer of protection. Previously this was done from `wp_privacy_generate_personal_data_export_file()`, but that does not guarantee that it will be run regularly, and on smaller sites that could result in export files being exposed for much longer than necessary.
`wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files()` was moved to a front end file, so that it can be called from `cron.php`.
This introduces the `wp_privacy_export_expiration` filter, which allows plugins to customize how long the exports are kept before being deleted.
`index.html` was added to the `$exclusions` parameter of `list_files()` to make sure that it isn't deleted. If it were, then poorly-configured servers would allow the directory to be traversed, exposing all of the exported files.

`rand()` is deterministic and therefore offers much less protection in this context. `wp_generate_password()` is a convenient wrapper around `wp_rand()`, which uses `random_int()` to generate cryptographically-secure psuedorandom numbers.
