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.

Due to the high number of follow-up tickets and associated security concerns, it was decided to reschedule the fatal error recovery feature for WordPress 5.2, in order to address these issues properly. The feature will continue to be developed, with iterations being merged into trunk early in the 5.2 release cycle.

This changeset introduces a `WP_Shutdown_Handler` class that detects fatal errors and which extension (plugin or theme) causes them. Such an error is then recorded, and an error message is displayed. Subsequently, in certain protected areas, for example the admin, the broken extension will be paused, ensuring that the website is still usable in the respective area. The major benefit is that this mechanism allows site owners to still log in to their website, to fix the problem by either disabling the extension or solving the bug and then resuming the extension.
Extensions are only paused in certain designated areas. The frontend for example stays unaffected, as it is impossible to know what pausing the extension would cause to be missing, so it might be preferrable to clearly see that the website is temporarily not accessible instead.
The fatal error recovery is especially important in scope of encouraging the switch to a maintained PHP version, as not necessarily every WordPress extension is compatible with all PHP versions. If problems occur now, non-technical site owners that do not have immediate access to the codebase are not locked out of their site and can at least temporarily solve the problem quickly.
Websites that have custom requirements in that regard can implement their own shutdown handler by adding a `shutdown-handler.php` drop-in that returns the handler instance to use, which must be based on a class that inherits `WP_Shutdown_Handler`. That handler will then be used in place of the default one.
Websites that would like to modify specifically the error template displayed in the frontend can add a `php-error.php` drop-in that works similarly to the existing `db-error.php` drop-in.

Previously, when a plugin updated its suggested privacy policy text, an admin notice was shown on all screens in the Administration Panels. That was done in order to make sure that administrators were aware of it, so that they could update their policy if needed. That was a very heavy-handed and intrusive approach, though, which leads to a poor user experience, and notice fatigue.
An alternative approach is to use bubble notifications in the menu, similar to when plugins have updates that need to be installed. That still makes it obvious that something needs the administrator's attention, but is not as distracting as a notice.
The notice will still appear on the Privacy page, though, since it is relevant to that screen, and provides an explanation of why the bubble is appearing.

r42986 introduced the beginnings of an Ajax handler for processing requests to erase personal data. At the time, a method for marking requests as completed was planned, but had not yet been created. This commit introduces that mechanism, bringing the erasure process closer to completion.

The personal data export and erasure tools allow plugins to register their own callbacks, in order to add additional data to the export and erasure processes. Previously, these were registered without specifying a constant identifier in the array of callbacks. Using mutable integers makes it difficult for plugins to modify the callbacks of other plugins, though.
Using associative array keys instead provides a covenient and reliable way to identify and interact with another plugin's callbacks.

This sets a referrer policy of `same-origin` which adds hardening by preventing a referrer being sent from the admin area or login screens to other origins. This helps prevent unwanted exposure of potentially sensitive information that may be contained within URLs.
This change introduces a new filter, `admin_referrer_policy`, for filtering the referrer policy header value. The header can be disabled if necessary by removing the `wp_admin_headers` action from the `admin_init` and `login_init` hooks.

Since [37221] the upload form is added to every plugin install screen via `install_plugins_upload()`. Previously the form was added through the `install_plugins_upload` (alias of `install_plugins_$tab`) action which allowed plugin authors to replace the form. This restores the previous behaviour.
* Add the form only to non-upload plugin install screens.
* Replace `install_plugins_upload()` with the `install_plugins_upload` and `install_plugins_pre_upload` actions.
* Remove `$upload_tab_class` and add a CSS class for the current tab to `.wrap`
* Adjust CSS selectors and toggle the whole container to support upload without an `upload-plugin` class.

`wp_plugin_update_rows()` and `wp_theme_update_rows()` are using the site transients `update_plugins` and `update_themes` which are set by `wp_update_plugins()` and `wp_update_themes()`. Both functions are hooked into `load-plugins.php` and `load-themes.php`. Therefore the update rows need to be registered after the transients were populated.

Resource hints allow browsers to prefetch specific pages or render them in the background to perform DNS lookups or to begin the connection handshake (DNS, TCP, TLS) in the background.
By default, `wp_resource_hints()` prints hints for "s.w.org" (the WordPress.org CDN) and for all scripts and styles which are enqueued from external hosts.
Use the `wp_resource_hints` filter to add custom domains and URLs for `dns-prefetch`, `preconnect`, `prefetch` or `prerender`.

There are random actions and filters littered among files like `misc.php`. These files contain functions that won't work outside of admin context and are typically only loaded in files that have already loaded the admin bootstrap.
