The `register_globals` directive in PHP was deprecated in version 5.3 and removed entirely in 5.4.
Now that WordPress only supports PHP 5.6.20 and newer, the `wp_unregister_GLOBALS()` function can be deprecated.

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`

Previously, `wp_favicon_request()` was introduced in [13205] to avoid a performance hit of serving a full 404 page on every favicon request.
While working as intended, that implementation did not provide a way for theme or plugin authors to manage the behavior of favicon requests.
This changeset implements the following logic (only applied if WordPress is installed in the root directory):
* If there is a Site Icon set in Customizer, redirect `/favicon.ico` requests to that icon.
* Otherwise, use the WordPress logo as a default icon.
* If a physical `/favicon.ico` file exists, do nothing, let the server handle the request.
Handling `/favicon.ico` is now more consistent with handling `/robots.txt` requests.
New functions and hooks:
* Introduce `is_favicon()` conditional tag to complement `is_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_favicon` action to complement `do_robots` and use it in template loader.
* Introduce `do_favicon()` function, hooked to the above action by default, to complement `do_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_faviconico` action to complement `do_robotstxt`, for plugins to override the default behavior.
* Mark `wp_favicon_request()` as deprecated in favor of `do_favicon()`.

* 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!

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.

Prior to this change, resuming or activating a plugin or theme that is still broken would result in a redirect loop if in recovery mode. If outside recovery mode, it would cause the error template to be displayed.
Furthermore this applies to breaking a plugin or theme when editing from the backend.

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.

Because WP REST API requests aren't identified until `parse_request`, it's impractical to reference the `REST_REQUEST` constant in `wp_debug_mode()`. Instead, it's more helpful to assume that a request wanting a JSON response probably doesn't want PHP errors breaking the response.

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.

A new global multisite table `wp_blogmeta` is added to the database schema, and a set of `*_site_meta()` API functions are introduced.
The implementation fails gracefully when the new table is not yet available, which may happen especially shortly after the core update, before the network has been upgraded to the new database schema. The presence of the table is detected once and stored as a global setting on the main network.
Core does not yet use site metadata, but there are several use-cases to be implemented or explored in the near future, and it allows plugins to extend sites with arbitrary data, which will come in particularly handy with the upcoming REST API endpoint for sites.

Rework logic for how external object caches are detected, so that if
an external cache does not define a `wp_cache_init()`, the built-in
object cache will be used.
Object caches can now wrap their entire contents in logic checks. So a
Redis caching backend could make sure that the `Redis` PHP class is
available before defining all the caching functions. And if Redis is
not available, the site doesn't break or throw errors or think it is
using caching when it isn't. This is particularly useful for doing
local development, where you might want to develop on a site without
running Memcache or Redis like you are in production.
* Accounts for multisite, which may re-initialize the object cache
multiple times.
* Accounts for object caches that may include `object-cache.php` during
`advanced-cache.php` (before WP loads it).
