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.

When querying 'fields' equal to 'all' using the `WP_User_Query` class, this returns an array of `WP_User` objects. A `WP_User` object requires user meta to be primed, as the user's role is stored in user meta. Ensure that all users meta is primed in a single request by calling the `cache_users` function when querying 'fields' equal to 'all'. Soft deprecate fields equal to `all_with_meta` as it now acts the same as 'fields' equal to 'all'.

Restore behaviour of `fields` parameter in `WP_User_Query` to allow developers to specify any database field to be returned either individually or as part of a subset. Add these fields to the documentation.
When a subset of `fields` includes the `id` paramater, include it in the results in both upper and lowercase to maintain backward compatibility.

Improve validation of `WP_User_Query`'s `fields` argument when passed as an array to ensure it only accepts permitted values. This prevents the invalid values being included in the generated database query.
Expand unit tests to include passing invalid values as part of an array, the lower case value `id`. Correct earlier unit tests to limit database query to one result.

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.
This commit renames the `$string` parameter to `$search` in `WP_User_Query::get_search_sql()`.

Similar to the existing `role`/`role__in`/`role__not_in` query arguments, this adds support for three new query arguments in `WP_User_Query`:
* `capability`
* `capability__in`
* `capability__not_in`
These can be used to fetch users with (or without) a specific set of capabilities, for example to get all users
with the capability to edit a certain post type.
Under the hood, this will check all existing roles on the site and perform a `LIKE` query against the `capabilities` user meta field to find:
* all users with a role that has this capability
* all users with the capability being assigned directly
Note: In WordPress, not all capabilities are stored in the database. Capabilities can also be modified using filters like `map_meta_cap`. These new query arguments do NOT work for such capabilities.
The prime use case for capability queries is to get all "authors", i.e. users with the capability to edit a certain post type.
Until now, `'who' => 'authors'` was used for this, which relies on user levels. However, user levels were deprecated a long time ago and thus never added to custom roles. This led to constant frustration due to users with custom roles missing from places like author dropdowns.
This updates any usage of `'who' => 'authors'` in core to use capability queries instead.
Subsequently, `'who' => 'authors'` queries are being **deprecated** in favor of these new query arguments.
Also adds a new `capabilities` parameter (mapping to `capability__in` in `WP_User_Query`) to the REST API users controller.
Also updates `twentyfourteen_list_authors()` in Twenty Fourteen to make use of this new functionality, adding a new `twentyfourteen_list_authors_query_args` filter to make it easier to override this behavior.

Using the canonical function name for PHP functions is strongly recommended, as aliases may be deprecated or removed without (much) warning.
This replaces all uses of the following:
* `join()` with `implode()`
* `sizeof()` with `count()`
* `is_writeable()` with `is_writable()`
* `doubleval()` with a `(float)` cast

Add a new filter `users_pre_query` - filters the users array before the query takes place. Return a non-null value to bypass WordPress's default user queries. Similar to the `posts_pre_query` filter for WP_Query added in #36687. This filter lets you short circuit the WP_User_Query MySQL query to return your own results.
Developers should note that filtering functions that require pagination information are encouraged to set the `total_users` property of the WP_User_Query object, passed to the filter by reference. If WP_User_Query does not perform a database query, it will not have enough information to generate these values itself.

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.

The `$user_total` member of `WP_User_Query`, and corresponding `get_total()` method, have always been documented as returning an `int`. `$user_total`, however, is populated by `$wpdb->get_var()`, which returns
a string (containing an integer value). Casting the return value from `get_var()` as an `int` rectifies this discrepency.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.
