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.

- Change the recovery mode link expiry to 1 day.
- Improve the email text.
- Add a new `recovery_email_support_info` filter, for hosts to be able to customise their support contact information.

This reduces the potential email noise to places where the fatal error could be interfering with the login and admin experience.
Once the user is in recovery mode, any fatal errors (even if they aren't in a protected endpoint) are handled and the plugin or theme will be paused.

While currently a recovery link is only made available via the admin email address, this will be expanded in the future. In order to accomplish that, the mechanisms to store and validate recovery keys must support multiple keys to be valid at the same time.
This changeset adds that support, adding an additional token parameter which is part of a recovery link in addition to the key. A key itself is always associated with a token, so the two are only valid in combination. These associations are stored in a new `recovery_keys` option, which is regularly cleared in a new Cron hook, to prevent potential cluttering from unused recovery keys.
This changeset does not have any user-facing implications otherwise.

This changeset introduces several changes around usability when recovery mode is active:
* Display a notice in the admin clarifying that the user is in recovery mode.
* Use a highlight color for the admin bar link to exit recovery mode.
* Exit recovery mode automatically when logging out.
* Include a recovery mode indicator in the title tag.

Using the new fatal handler introduced in [44962], an email is sent to the admin when a fatal error occurs. This email includes a secret link to enter recovery mode. When clicked, the link will be validated and on success a cookie will be placed on the client, enabling recovery mode for that user. This functionality is executed early before plugins and themes are loaded, in order to be unaffected by potential fatal errors these might be causing.
When in recovery mode, broken plugins and themes will be paused for that client, so that they are able to access the admin backend despite of these errors. They are notified about the broken extensions and the errors caused, and can then decide whether they would like to temporarily deactivate the extension or fix the problem and resume the extension.
A link in the admin bar allows the client to exit recovery mode.
