For a number of years, most of the WordPress error messages have been prefixed with "Error:". However, these messages appear in a context where it's already clear an error occurred. Whether it's an error, a warning, or any other classification, that's not so relevant for users. The content of the message is the relevant part. The "Error:" prefix doesn't add great value while it does add unnecessary complexity for the message readability.
Also, revises some of these messages to improve clarity and removes HTML from translatable strings.

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`

* Add missing translator comments.
* Fix placement of some translator comments. Translator comments should be on the line directly above the line containing the translation function call for optimal compatibility with various `.pot` file generation tools. The CS auto-fixing, which changed some inconsistent function calls to multi-line function calls, is part of the reason why this was no longer the case for a select group of translator comments.
Includes minor code layout fixes.
Polyglots, rejoice! All WordPress core files now have translator comments for all strings with placeholders!

When a plugin states it requires a specific minimum PHP version (as defined in the `requires_php` field included in the plugin update API response), a user should not be allowed to update that plugin when the server does not satisfy the minimum PHP version.
When this scenario is encountered, the update buttons and links are disabled and links to educational resources about PHP are displayed to the user with a notice.

This changeset uses the API functions introduced in [44476] to link to the resource about updating PHP when highlighting a plugin's required PHP version is not met. It furthermore expands them, introducing a new `wp_update_php_annotation()` function that prints the markup to indicate that the default URL has been altered by the web host, allowing it to be reused universally.
Furthermore, this changeset adds missing `update_php` capability checks before displaying the information about updating PHP.
Props afragen.

In PHP 7.3, the `compact()` function has been changed to issue an `E_NOTICE` level error if a passed string refers to an unset variable. In previous versions of PHP, this notice was silently skipped. This fixes a few more instances of unset variables in the WordPress admin.

WPCS 1.0.0 includes a bunch of new auto-fixers, which drops the number of coding standards issues across WordPress significantly. Prior to running the auto-fixers, there were 15,312 issues detected. With this commit, we now drop to 4,769 issues.
This change includes three notable additions:
- Multiline function calls must now put each parameter on a new line.
- Auto-formatting files is now part of the `grunt precommit` script.
- Auto-fixable coding standards issues will now cause Travis failures.

In order to get the best result when running `phpcbf` across the codebase, there are some manual tweaks we need to make.
These fall into three categories:
- Fixing incorrectly indented code which has flow-on effects when auto-fixing.
- Tweaking the layout of inline PHP inside HTML tags.
- Moving more complex inline PHP inside HTML tags, to execute earlier.
See #44600.

The WPCS `WordPress.WhiteSpace.PrecisionAlignment` rule throws warnings for a bunch of code that will likely cause issues for `wpcbf`. Fixing these manually beforehand gives us better auto-fixed results later.

"Install" is not a noun, and while it might be acceptable to use the verb as a noun, it is not correct. Using the correct
noun, "installation", increases clarity, especially for non-native English speakers.

By enabling the user to select their preferred locale when editing the profile, we allow for greater personalization of the WordPress admin and therefore a better user experience.
The back end will be displayed in the user's individual locale while the locale used on the front end equals the one set for the whole site. If the user didn't specify a locale, the site's locale will be used as a fallback. The new `locale` property of the `WP_User` class can be used to retrieve the user's locale setting.

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
