In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

#50244 aims to introduce batch processing in the REST API. An important feature is the ability to enforce that all requests have valid data before executing the route callbacks in "pre-validate" mode.
This necessitates splitting `WP_REST_Server::dispatch()` into two methods so the batch controller can determine the request handler to perform pre-validation and then respond to the requests.
The two new methods, `match_request_to_handler` and `respond_to_request`, have a public visibility, but are marked as `@access private`. This is to allow for iteration on the batch controller to happen in the Gutenberg repository. Developers should not rely upon these methods, their visibility may change in the future.

The Content-Disposition and Content-MD5 headers allow for easier file uploading across domains by using a File/Blob object directly. The X-WP-Nonce header is allowed for making cross-origin and same-origin authenticated requests consistent.
Additionally a filter is introduced, "rest_allowed_cors_headers", to simplify the process of allowing additional request headers.

“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.

Currently, only the X-WP-Total and X-WP-TotalPages headers are exposed which means that clients have to manually construct the URL to implement pagination instead of using the "prev" and "next" Links.
Additionally, a filter "rest_exposed_cors_headers" is introduced to make it simpler for plugins to expose additional headers.

The `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA` global was deprecated in PHP 5.6 and removed completely in PHP 7.0. In general, `php://input` should be used instead of `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA`.
Because WordPress Core still supports PHP 5.6, some plugins or sites may still rely on this variable being present and populated with the expected data. For that reason, occurrences of the variable will remain with updated inline documentation until support for PHP 5.6 is officially dropped in WordPress.

The PHP native JSON extension has been bundled and compiled with PHP by default since version 5.2.0. Because the minimum version of PHP required by WordPress is now 5.6.20 (see #46594 and [45058]), JSON extension related polyfills and backwards compatibility code can now be removed.
This change removes code that supported JSON related functionality on older versions of PHP. This includes (but is not limited to) checks that `json_last_error()` exists, checking and setting the `JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES` and `JSON_PRETTY_PRINT` constants if not previously defined, and deprecating the `_wp_json_prepare_data()` function (which was 100% workaround code).

Noteable changes:
- The `magic_quotes_runtime` and `magic_quotes_sybase` settings were removed in PHP 5.4, so no longer need to be set.
- Some functions that use external libraries can generate errors that can't be tested for, so are globally allowed to silence errors.
- Quite a few functions would cause errors if `safe_mode` was set. This setting was removed in PHP 5.4.
- Only a handful of `header()` calls needed corresponding `headers_sent()` checks for unit tests to pass, but more may need to be added as the nightlies builds are tested.

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.

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.

This commit adds a new `WP_REST_Server#remove_header` method and uses it to clear the `Last-Modified` header when the "no caching" headers are sent (by default for all authenticated REST API requests). This matches the behavior of the `nocache_headers` function used in other parts of WordPress.
Previously, the REST API would send an empty `Last-Modified` header in this situation. Under some server and browser configurations, this causes browsers to cache authenticated REST API requests, which is undesirable.

The site's current timezone offset is an important piece of information for any REST API client that needs to manipulate dates. It has not been previously available.
Expose both the `gmt_offset` (the site's current offset from UTC in hours) and `timezone_string` (which also provides information about daylight savings time) via the "site info" endpoint (the base `/wp-json` response).
Also update the `wp-api-generated.js` fixture file with the changes to the default API responses.
