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`

Synchronize documentation for `add_filter()`, `tests_add_filter()`, `_wp_filter_build_unique_id()`, `_test_filter_build_unique_id()`.
Add a note that `$tag` and `$priority` are no longer used in `_wp_filter_build_unique_id()` since [46220], and the function always returns a string now.

"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.

To allow `plugin.php` to be loaded before the rest of WordPress is loaded, it cannot rely on WordPress constants, such as `ABSPATH` and `WPINC`.
Instead, we can assume that `class-wp-hook.php` will be in the same directory as `plugin.php`, so `dirname( __FILE__ )` will give us the correct path to load from.
Props pento, dd32.

Filters and actions have been the basis of WordPress' plugin functionality since time immemorial, they've always been a reliable method for acting upon the current state of WordPress, and will continue to be so.
Over the years, however, edge cases have cropped up. Particularly when it comes to recursively executing hooks, or a hook adding and removing itself, the existing implementation struggled to keep up with more complex use cases.
And so, we introduce `WP_Hook`. By changing `$wp_filter` from an array of arrays, to an array of objects, we reduce the complexity of the hook handling code, as the processing code (see `::apply_filters()`) only needs to be aware of itself, rather than the state of all hooks. At the same time, we're able te handle more complex use cases, as the object can more easily keep track of its own state than an array ever could.

First added in [37588] and later modified in [38224], the idea was to ensure that filters/actions added before `advance-cache.php` would not disappear if `advance-cache.php` overloaded the filters/actions with code such as `$wp_filter = array()`. This is an edge case and one that there is no documented case of existing.
This restores the behavior from WordPress 4.5 and before. It is strongly encouraged that developers using `advance-cache.php` to use the Plugins API that is available before the loading of `advance-cache.php` rather than directly interacting with any of the globals.

[37588] added methods to backup the plugin globals, for ensuring that advanced cache drop-ins don't overwrite hooks that've been added earlier in the load process.
The method for restoring the plugin globals wasn't compatible with the implementation of `WP_Hook` in #17817. `WP_Hook` implements `ArrayAccess`, so `_restore_plugin_globals()` was treating it as an array, and inadvertantly overwriting the `WP_Hook` object with a plain array.
To avoid having to re-write this code as part of #17817, we now use `add_filter()` to restore any hooks that were added by cache drop-ins, which `WP_Hook` correctly supports.
Props pento, jorbin.

In order to allow non-web initializations of WordPress (such as through wp-cli) to modify things like the check for maintenance mode, plugins.php and the associated functions must be available much earlier. The use of these functions earlier than the loading of plugins is not recommended in most use cases.

Known functions, classes, and methods are now auto-linked in Code Reference pages following #meta1483.
Note: Hook references are still linked via inline `@see` tags due to the unlikelihood of reliably matching for known hooks based on a RegEx pattern.
