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.

This new dashboard widget is shown on WordPress sites which are powered by a PHP version which WordPress considers outdated, in order to inform site owners about the resulting problems and to explain how to upgrade to a supported version. An education page for that purpose has been previously created that the widget links to. The link is translatable so that localized versions of the page can be referred to as they become available.
The nag follows the example of the Browse Happy dashboard widget and is only visible for administrators, or network administrators when using multisite. To determine whether it needs to be displayed, a new wordpress.org API introduced prior is called that handles the version logic in a centralized location.

For a number of years, the "Available Widgets" section has been off-limits for
keyboard users. Now it can be used also with the keyboard. This change introduces
also some improvements for assistive technologies.
- makes the widget toggles focusable and adds an `aria-expanded` attribute to indicate their state
- improves the toggles labelling to clarify context (add/edit)
- changes the controls to choose a sidebar from list items to buttons
- adds an `aria-label` attribute to the buttons to clarify their purpose
- adds an `aria-pressed` attribute to the buttons to indicate which one is selected
- improves color contrast of the selected button
- uses a `wp.a11y.speak()` message to announce to screen reader users when a widget has been added to a sidebar
- moves focus back to the toggle button when closing a widget

For a number of years, the link to the Widgets screen "Accessibility mode" lived
in the Screen Options panel, hidden by default. Many users, including assistive
technologies users, weren't able to find it or even aware it existed. By bringing
the link in the main screen, visible by default, this change makes the
"Accessibility mode" easily discoverable for everyone.

For better accessibility and semantics, user interface controls that perform an
action should be buttons. Links should exclusively be used for navigation.
Also, adds an `aria-expanded` attribute to communicate the expandable panel state
and improves the buttons spacing.

This tag has been used in the past, but should no longer be used. Just using the `static` keyword in code is enough for PhpDocumentor on PHP5+ to recognize static variables and methods, and PhpDocumentor will mark them as static.

Trigger a keyup event when clearing the search field in response to closing the add item panel. The keyup event triggers a search and resets the results. Previously, the search field was cleared while the potentially blank search results were left in place making it impossible to select new menu items.

WordCamps are celebrations of the local WordPress Community and once a local one is scheduled, people in that community should know it is coming. This adjusts the WordPress Events in the dashboard widgets to always display a WordCamp, even if there are multiple Meetups happening first.
