Until now, changing a user's role involved deleting a user's role then re-adding. This change creates a new `update_role` function and associated method in `WP_Roles` to consolidate this process.
This commit also introduces new unit tests around `update_role` and adds additional "unhappy path" tests for roles and capabilities in general.

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.

Switching the available roles and the current user's capabilities no longer happens in `switch_to_blog()` and `restore_current_blog()`, instead it has been moved to a new function `wp_switch_roles_and_user()` which is hooked into the site switching process. This allows to improve performance by temporarily unhooking the function when roles and capabilities do not need to be switched.
This change ensures that switching available roles now works closer to switching user capabilities, particularly the changes in [41624]. A new `WP_Roles::for_site( $site_id )` method has been introduced, and the `WP_Roles::_init()` method has been deprecated. It is furthermore possible to retrieve the site ID for which the available roles are currently initialized through a new `WP_Roles::get_site_id()`.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.

Historically, it's been difficult to extend user roles, but reasonable to work around by waiting until after `init` has fired, to add custom roles and capabilities. With the addition of Locale Switching, Core now potentially loads roles before `init` has fired, leaving a window where custom roles and capabilities are not handled.
The new filter allows plugins to add their own custom roles whenever they're initialised (on page load, or when switching sites, for example), so that they can always be obeyed.
`WP_Roles` has also been tidied up a little bit, to remove duplicate code.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.
Note: 'backwards compatibility/compatibile' can also be considered correct, though it's primary seen in regular use in British English.

Multisite functions use the term "blog" to refer to what we now call a "site," e.g. `get_current_blog_id()`. These functions are here to stay because of our commitment to backwards compatibility. What we can do is set the documentation straight.
