In the `WP_Hook` class the function `array_keys` was called every time an array of hook priorities was needed. For sites with lots of filters or actions, this would result in thousands of calls to the `array_keys` function, which uses server resources. Instead of recomputing this array every time it is needed, only compute it when filters are added and removed, then store the result as a class property. Improve unit tests to ensure this behaviour is tested.

Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.
There are a number of ways to mitigate this:
* If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo.
* For known properties: declare them on the class.
* For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al. methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly optimized versions of these magic methods built in.
* For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes.
Trac ticket #56034 is open to investigate and handle the third and fourth type of situations, however it has become clear this will need more time and will not be ready in time for WP 6.1.
To reduce “noise” in the meantime, both in the error logs of WP users moving onto PHP 8.2, in the test run logs of WP itself, in test runs of plugins and themes, as well as to prevent duplicate tickets from being opened for the same issue, this commit adds the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute to all “parent” classes in WP.
The logic used for this commit is as follows:
* If a class already has the attribute: no action needed.
* If a class does not `extend`: add the attribute.
* If a class does `extend`:
- If it extends `stdClass`: no action needed (as `stdClass` supports dynamic properties).
- If it extends a PHP native class: add the attribute.
- If it extends a class from one of WP's external dependencies: add the attribute.
* In all other cases: no action — the attribute should not be needed as child classes inherit from the parent.
Whether or not a class contains magic methods has not been taken into account, as a review of the currently existing magic methods has shown that those are generally not sturdy enough and often even set dynamic properties (which they should not). See the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE live stream from August 16, 2022] for more details.
This commit only affects classes in the `src` directory of WordPress core.
* Tests should not get this attribute, but should be fixed to not use dynamic properties instead. Patches for this are already being committed under ticket #56033.
* While a number bundled themes (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021) contain classes, they are not a part of this commit and may be updated separately.

This fixes the "Deprecated: Return type of `WP_Hook::[METHODNAME]()` should be compatible with `ArrayAccess::[METHODNAME](): type`" warnings on PHP 8.1.
PHP native interfaces now have declared return types and methods in classes implementing these interfaces need to either have the return type declared (in a covariant compatible manner with the PHP native interface method declaration), or need to silence the deprecation warning using the `#[ReturnTypeWillChange]` attribute.

Use `$hook_name` when referring to a filter or action hook name, and `$callback` when referring to a callback function.
This brings more consistency to parameter names in Plugin API functions.
Includes minor code layout fixes for better readability and reordering some functions in a more logical order.

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.

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.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.

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.
