Automatic deactivation of dependents with unmet dependencies requires a write operation to the database. This was performed during Core's bootstrap, which risked the database and cache becoming out-of-sync on sites with heavy traffic.
No longer loading plugins that have unmet requirements has not had a final approach decided core-wide, and is still in discussion in #60491 to be handled in a future release.
The `plugin_data` option, used to persistently store plugin data for detecting unmet dependencies during Core's bootstrap, is no longer needed.

[57545] introduced the Plugin Dependencies feature, which contains a new `plugin_data` option.
Previously, the `plugin_data` option was being updated during bootstrap and in `get_plugins()`, causing an error when using the install script as the options database table does not yet exist, and also risked an "out of sync" issue between the database and the cache on websites with heavy traffic.
This removes the calls to `update_option()` during Core's bootstrap, and guards the call in `get_plugins()` to ensure that it doesn't run when WordPress is installing.

Introduces a new "Requires Plugins" plugin header so that plugin developers can list the slugs of the plugins theirs depends on.
This will inform users of the requirements, and provide links to the WordPress.org Plugins Repository that they can click to install and activate the dependencies first.
Plugins whose requirements are not met cannot be installed or activated, and they will be deactivated automatically if their requirements become unmet.
Plugins that others rely on cannot be deactivated or deleted until their dependent plugins are deactivated or deleted.

This introduces a more lightweight library for loading `.mo` translation files which offers increased speed and lower memory usage.
It also supports loading multiple locales at the same time, which makes locale switching faster too.
For plugins interacting with the `$l10n` global variable in core, a shim is added to retain backward compatibility with the existing `pomo` library.
In addition to that, this library supports translations contained in PHP files, avoiding a binary file format and leveraging OPCache if available.
If an `.mo` translation file has a corresponding `.l10n.php` file, the latter will be loaded instead.
This behavior can be adjusted using the new `translation_file_format` and `load_translation_file` filters.
PHP translation files will be typically created by downloading language packs, but can also be generated by plugins.
See https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/11/08/merging-performant-translations-into-core/ for more context.

`str_starts_with()` and `str_ends_with()` were introduced in PHP 8.0 to perform a case-sensitive check indicating if the string to search in (haystack) begins or ends with the given substring (needle).
WordPress core includes a polyfill for these functions on PHP < 8.0 as of WordPress 5.9.
This commit uses `str_starts_with()` and `str_ends_with()` in core files where appropriate:
* `$needle === substr( $string, 0, $length )`, where `$length` is the length of `$needle`, is replaced with `str_starts_with( $haystack, $needle )`.
* `$needle === substr( $string, $offset )`, where `$offset` is negative and the absolute value of `$offset` is the length of `$needle`, is replaced with `str_ends_with( $haystack, $needle )`.
This aims to make the code more readable and consistent, as well as better aligned with modern development practices.

This affects:
* `validate_plugin_requirements()`
* `validate_theme_requirements()`
Historically, the `Requires PHP` header was introduced in #meta2952 for the Plugin Directory first, so at the time it made sense to have it defined in the same place as `Requires at least`, which only existed in `readme.txt`.
Since parsing of PHP and WordPress requirements was later added to WordPress core, the core should retrieve all the necessary data from the main plugin or theme file and not from `readme.txt`, which only contains the data meant for the Plugin or Theme Directory.
The recommended place for `Requires PHP` and `Requires at least` headers is as follows:
* The plugin's main PHP file
* The theme's `style.css` file
The place for the `Tested up to` header remains in `readme.txt` for the time being, as it's not used by WordPress core.

This allows third-party plugins to avoid accidentally being overwritten with an update of a plugin of a similar name from the WordPress.org Plugin Directory.
Additionally, introduce the `update_plugins_{$hostname}` filter, which third-party plugins can use to offer updates for a given hostname.
If set, the `Update URI` header field should be a URI and have a unique hostname.
Some examples include:
* `https://wordpress.org/plugins/example-plugin/`
* `https://example.com/my-plugin/`
* `my-custom-plugin-name`
`Update URI: false` also works, and unless there is code handling the `false` hostname, the plugin will never get an update notification.
If the header is present, the WordPress.org API will currently only return updates for the plugin if it matches the following format:
* `https://wordpress.org/plugins/{$slug}/`
* `w.org/plugin/{$slug}`
If the header has any other value, the API will not return a result and will ignore the plugin for update purposes.
