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.

This allows for a natural tab order during installation, without negatively impacting users who use the keyboard for navigation, those who use a screen reader, or those who use neither.

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`

* Add missing translator comments.
* Fix placement of some translator comments. Translator comments should be on the line directly above the line containing the translation function call for optimal compatibility with various `.pot` file generation tools. The CS auto-fixing, which changed some inconsistent function calls to multi-line function calls, is part of the reason why this was no longer the case for a select group of translator comments.
Includes minor code layout fixes.
Polyglots, rejoice! All WordPress core files now have translator comments for all strings with placeholders!

- adds `role="presentation"` to the edit comment table
- removes a few pointless `<fieldset>` elements
- adds a few missing `<label>` elements
- adds the CSS class `class="td-full"` to table rows spanning to multiple cells
- adds explicit `scope="row"` attribute to the table headers in `options-permalink.php`: this table is better communicated as data table
- uses consistent label association in the "Privacy Settings" page
- in the installation page "Set up your database connection": associates descriptions to their inout fields using `aria-describedby`
- improves the link to gravatar.com in the `user-edit.php` page

Adds `role="presentation"` to the `<table>` elements used for layout purposes.
Ideally, HTML tables should be used for tabular data. When tables are used for layout purposes, it's important to remove any native semantics so that assistive technologies can correctly announce the table content in a linearized fashion.

WPCS 1.0.0 includes a bunch of new auto-fixers, which drops the number of coding standards issues across WordPress significantly. Prior to running the auto-fixers, there were 15,312 issues detected. With this commit, we now drop to 4,769 issues.
This change includes three notable additions:
- Multiline function calls must now put each parameter on a new line.
- Auto-formatting files is now part of the `grunt precommit` script.
- Auto-fixable coding standards issues will now cause Travis failures.

When the setup process reads `wp-config-sample.php`, it assumes that there are no spaces inside the brackes of the `define()`s. Unfortunately, this doesn't match our coding standards, so will no longer work correctly once we start enforcing them.
This also improves coding standards of the generated `wp-config.php` file.

This pattern occurs a handful of times across the codebase:
`<div class="foo<?php if ( $bar ) { echo ' baz'; } ?>">`
Unfortunately, it doesn't really play nicely with `phpcbf`, so all instances need to be removed in preperation for auto code formatting.

"Install" is not a noun, and while it might be acceptable to use the verb as a noun, it is not correct. Using the correct
noun, "installation", increases clarity, especially for non-native English speakers.
This change fixes the usage in user-facing text and in developer documentation.

Previously we ensured that the entry points to WordPress were parsable by PHP4 in order to display a friendly not-supported-php error message.
However, for the last two years the main entry points have not actually parsed, and we've only added extra parse errors since it last worked in 3.9, so it's time we just remove this 'feature'.
The PHP version checks are still there for PHP 5.0/5.1, and so it's inplace when we eventually drop PHP 5.2 support.

There are some table prefixes (for example, `7e1_`), which MySQL will try and parse as values when they're note quoted in backticks. Because not everything remembers to quote their table names, it's best if we just discourage their use during setup.

The readme, installation, upgrade, and repair pages use a common css file. The heading structure for these pages was inconstant with h2s where there should be h1s, h1s where there is no relevant info and sometimes, no h1s at all.

The 'do not' is converted to "don't" because "you" is third-person plural, and 'does not' is converted to "doesn't" because `localhost` is third-person singular. While both are "negative" contractions, we often write this way in WordPress to provide a friendlier tone. That's your English grammar lesson for the day.
