This addresses an inconsistency where 0 could mean one of the three scenarios:
* Invalid comment ID.
* Invalid comment post ID.
* No DB rows updated. This is not an error and should not be treated as one.
With this change, `wp_update_comment()` always returns either `false` or a `WP_Error` object on failure, depending on the value of the `$wp_error` parameter.

Remove the ability to short-circuit comment update by returning `false` from the filter for now.
This was inconsistent with the `pre_comment_approved` filter, and should not be necessary if a more descriptive reason can be given by always using `WP_Error`.

* Revert the logic of `$wp_error` checks to avoid negation.
* Clarify the return value, restore the edits from [47017].
* Update `wp_update_comment_data` filter check to allow `false` to prevent the update.

This makes the function signatures more consistent with `wp_update_comment()` and `wp_set_comment_status()`.
`wp_check_comment_flood()` is left as the only function with the `$avoid_die` parameter for now, as it does not return a `WP_Error` object.

The filter is the callback function added with `add_filter()`, therefore the hook passes a value to the filter, and the filter returns a value to change its behaviour.
The documentation is referring to the latter.

The `wp_update_comment_data` filter introduced in 4.7 allows comment data to be filtered before it is updated in the database.
The patch aims to handle `WP_Error` as the filter above return value in a similar manner as is done for `wp_new_comment()`.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

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.

Previously, the `@` operator was used to prevent possible warnings emitted by `parse_url()` in PHP < 5.3.3 when URL parsing failed.
Now that the minimum version of PHP required by WordPress is 5.6.20, this is no longer needed.

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`
