`str_starts_with()` was introduced in PHP 8.0 to perform a case-sensitive check indicating if the string to search in (haystack) begins with the given substring (needle).
WordPress core includes a polyfill for `str_starts_with()` on PHP < 8.0 as of WordPress 5.9.
This commit replaces `0 === strpos( ... )` with `str_starts_with()` in core files, making the code more readable and consistent, as well as improving performance.
While `strpos()` is slightly faster than the polyfill on PHP < 8.0, `str_starts_with()` is noticeably faster on PHP 8.0+, as it is optimized to avoid unnecessarily searching along the whole haystack if it does not find the needle.
Follow-up to [52039], [52040], [52326].

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`

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.
