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.

This changeset replaces contracted verb forms like `doesn't`, `can't`, or `isn't` with non-contracted forms like `does not`, `cannot`, or `is not`, for better consistency across the WordPress administration. It also updates some corresponding unit tests strings.

This commit adds the `public` visibility keyword to each method which did not have an explicit visibility keyword.
Why `public`?
With no visibility previously declared, these methods are implicitly `public` and available for use. Changing them to anything else would be a backwards-compatibility break.

The `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE` constant now supports `development` and `branch-development` values.
This makes it possible for sites to opt-in to updating to nightly builds without having to install a plugin.

This provides more flexibility when writing tests and benefits from running in a front-end context which is necessary for some tests like checking that updates are supported. Additionally, this provides a more robust interface for developers who want to integrate with Site Health tests.
Because the `wp/v2` endpoint is reserved for modeling core entities, site health is registered in its own `wp-site-health/v1` namespace.
The existing ajax actions have been maintained for backward compatibility.

Previously, it was only incidentally recognized as valid due to a loose comparison with `true`.
With the strict comparison added to `WP_Site_Health_Auto_Updates::test_constants()`, this was no longer the case.

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`

When viewing Site Health for a multisite install, there are a few recommendations that are not appropriate and could have negative implications for other sites on the install if the administrator follows the advice provided.
For example, Site Health recommends that inactive plugins and themes for a site should be removed. On a single site install, this is a great recommendation. However, on a multisite install, inactive plugins and themes for one site should not be removed because they could be active for other sites on the network.
This change also disables the `test_wp_version_check_attached()` test for multisite. This test checks for the presence of the `wp_version_check()` function on the `wp_version_check` hook, which is not present for every site on multisite.

* Split plural strings with multiple sentences to avoid duplicating translations.
* Decouple strings where the singular and plural form are not just the same string with different numbers, but essentially two different strings.
* Use an established pattern for numbered placeholders in translator comments.
* Replace constants in translatable strings with placeholders, mark them as code.
* Make sure sentences are translated as a whole, not as separate string parts.
* Remove unnecessary context and escaping.

The Site Health tool serves two purposes:
- Provide site owners with information to improve the performance, reliability, and security of their site.
- Collect comprehensive debug information about the site.
By encouraging site owners to maintain their site and adhere to modern best practices, we ultimately improve the software hygeine of both the WordPress ecosystem, and the open internet as a whole.
