WordPress has supported custom page templates for over 12 years, allowing developers to create various layouts for specific pages.
While this feature is very helpful, it has always been limited to the 'page' post type and not was not available to other post types.
By opening up the page template functionality to all post types, we continue to improve the template hierarchy's flexibility.
In addition to the `Template Name` file header, the post types supported by a template can be specified using `Template Post Type: post, foo, bar`.
When at least one template exists for a post type, the 'Post Attributes' meta box will be displayed in the back end, without the need to add post type support for `'page-attributes'`. 'Post Attributes' can be customized per post type using the `'attributes'` label when registering a post type.

The position of this template within the hierarchy is of so little use that zero themes in the WordPress.org theme directory make use of it. It's second only to `index.php` in the hierarchy, meaning that any archive template such as `category.php` or `archive.php` will be chosen before it.
Fixes#38162

This introduces a `{$type}_template_hierarchy` filter that allows the hierarchy of candidate template filenames for a given template type to be filtered.
This allows the hierarchy to be added to or altered completely without resorting to re-building the hierarchy from scratch within the `template_include` filter, which is common and prone to conflicts between plugins and prone to getting out of sync with core's hierarchy.

This allows themes to directly override the default template. The order in which the template is retrieved is as follows: `embed-$post_type-$post_format.php` -> `embed-$post_type.php` -> `embed.php`.
The `embed_template` filter gets replaced by the dynamic `{$type}_template` filter in `get_query_template()`.

Splits wp-includes/embed-template.php, introduced in 4.4, into five new templates that can be individually overridden by themes:
* embed.php
* embed-404.php
* embed-content.php
* header-embed.php
* footer-embed.php
Also introduces a new template tag for outputting the site title, `the_embed_site_title()`.
The five new templates live in theme-compat, allowing for graceful fallbacks should themes prefer not to override any or all of them.

Twelve years later, after no fewer than three themes have intentionally implemented popup comments in their functionality, before being abandoned for at least the last six years, we've reached a time where we can put this era behind us. A time when we can remove comment popup functionality from WordPress.
If this breaks the internet, I'll eat my hat.

It's important to reference the actual dynamic hook name instead of an alias for purposes of auto-linking in the Code Reference.
Affects the docs for:
* `get_index_template()`
* `get_404_template()`
* `get_archive_template()`
* `get_post_type_archive_template()`
* `get_author_template()`
* `get_category_template()`
* `get_tag_template()`
* `get_taxonomy_template()`
* `get_date_template()`
* `get_home_template()`
* `get_page_template()`
* `get_paged_template()`
* `get_search_template()`
* `get_single_template()`

In PHP 5.3.0, `is_a()` is no longer deprecated, and will therefore no longer throw `E_STRICT` warnings.
To avoid warnings in PHP < 5.3.0, convert all `is_a()` calls to `$var instanceof WP_Class` calls.
`instanceof` does not throw any error if the variable being tested is not an object, it simply returns `false`.
