Replaces `trigger_error()` with `wp_trigger_error()` in each of the `WP_List_Table` magic methods.
[56349] added the dynamic properties deprecation messages to the `__get()`, `__set()`, `__isset()`, `__unset()` magic methods. Since that commit, `wp_trigger_error()` was introduced (see [56530]) as a wrapper for `trigger_error()`.

Changes "define" to "declare" in the deprecation message in `WP_List_Table` magic methods.
Why is "declare" better?
It aligns well to:
* the topic of and published information about dynamic properties.
* the act of explicitly listing the variable as a property on the class.
The goal of this message is guide developers to change their code. Changing the term to "declare" hopefully will aid in the understanding of what is being asked of developers when this deprecation is thrown.

The unknown use of unknown dynamic property within the `WP_List_Table` property magic methods is now deprecated. A descriptive deprecation notice is provided to alert developers to declare the property on the child class extending `WP_List_Table`.
Changes in this commit:
* Adds a deprecation notice to the `__get()`, `__set()`, `__isset()`, `__unset()` magic methods, i.e. to alert and inform developers when attempting to get/set/isset/unset a dynamic property.
* Fixes `__get()` to explicitly returns `null` when attempting to get a dynamic property.
* Removes returning the value when setting a declared property, as (a) unnecessary and (b) `__set()` should return `void` [https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.set per the PHP handbook].
* Adds unit tests for happy and unhappy paths.
For backward compatibility, no changes are made to the internal declared properties listed in `$compat_fields` and accessed through the magic methods.
For example:
A child class uses a property named `$data` that is not declared / defined as a property on the child class. When getting its value, e.g. `$list_table->data`, the `WP_List_Table::__get()` magic method is invoked, the following deprecation notice thrown, and `null` returned:
>The property `data` is not defined. Setting a dynamic (undefined) property is deprecated since version 6.4.0! Instead, define the property on the class.
=== Why not remove the magic methods, remove the `$compat_fields` property, and restore the properties `public`?
tl;dr Backward compatibility.
Several plugins, one of which has over 5M installs, add a property to the `$compat_fields` array. Removing the property would cause an `Undefined property` `Warning` (PHP 8) | `Notice` (PHP 7) to be thrown. Removing the associated code would change the functionality.
=== Why not limit the deprecation for PHP versions >= 8.2?
tl;dr original design intent and inform
The magic methods and `$compat_fields` property were added for one purpose: to continue providing external access to internal properties declared on `WP_List_Table`. They were not intended to be used for dynamic properties.
Deprecating that unintended usage both alerts developers a change is needed in their child class and informs them what to change.

This change also implements this new method in the relevant `WP_List_Table_xxx` child classes `get_views` methods. Finally, unit tests are being added to validate view links markup and test for some "unhappy paths".

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.

While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use reserved keywords as function parameter names.

The allowed format for bulk actions is now an associative array where each element represents either a top level option value and label, or an array representing an optgroup and its options.
For a standard option, the array element key is the field value and the array element value is the field label.
For an optgroup, the array element key is the label and the array element value is an associative array of options as above.
