- Separate the guide text form the suggested policy text.
- Add table of content for easier navigation.
- Move the content to tools.php (prevents the settings menu of being open).
- Add a link to the guide from the Privacy settings screen.

r42986 introduced the beginnings of an Ajax handler for processing requests to erase personal data. At the time, a method for marking requests as completed was planned, but had not yet been created. This commit introduces that mechanism, bringing the erasure process closer to completion.

r43008 refactored the request flow to make several improvements, but accidentally marked `completed` requests as `confirmed`. This commit restores the intended statuses, so that the data and corresponding UI reflect reality.

Whenever an admin initiates a download or email of a personal data export, a fresh copy of the file is generated. Previously, a new filename was used each time, which could lead to situations where a URL that was emailed to a data subject is broken.
That can be avoided by reusing the same filename when building fresh archives.

Previously the user was shown a message that the page was created, but might not understand that they still need to visit the page and publish it. Redirecting them to the page makes it more obvious that additional steps are involved.

The new features are very important for some users, because of their GDPR obligations. They're also spread across multiple top-level menus, making them less discoverable. An admin pointer will help to ensure that users are aware of the new tools and how to find them.

The personal data export and erasure tools allow plugins to register their own callbacks, in order to add additional data to the export and erasure processes. Previously, these were registered without specifying a constant identifier in the array of callbacks. Using mutable integers makes it difficult for plugins to modify the callbacks of other plugins, though.
Using associative array keys instead provides a covenient and reliable way to identify and interact with another plugin's callbacks.

In many common Multisite use cases, the network administrator will want to set a network-wide privacy policy -- via the `privacy_policy_url` filter -- for consistency and convenience. When that's done, the Privacy Settings screen on individual sites becomes unnecessary, and may confuse administrators of those sites when they see that their changes don't have any effect on the policy link in the footer.
Since we can't programatically determine which behavior the network admins would like, the safest default setting is to restrict the ability to super admins, and let them delegate it to individual site owners via a plugin, if they'd like to.

The page was originally placed under `Tools` so that it would be grouped with the pages to export and erase personal data, since they're all part of the effort to bring privacy management tools to Core ahead of GDPR's deadline. After more consideration, though, it makes sense to move this page to the `Settings` menu, since it's fundamental purpose is to configure an option, rather than to facilitate a recurring task. This keeps all of the configuration pages in a single place, making them consistent and easier to find.
Exporting and erasing personal data are recurring tasks, so they still make sense under the `Tools` menu.

In these contexts, "privacy policy" is not a proper noun, and therefore should not be capitalized.
The remaining uses are page titles and section headers, where capitalization is appropriate.

The previous sentence was gramatically awkward, and using the term "compliance" could accidentally be mistaken by a site owner for a promise by WordPress that their site will be compliant after using the tool, which is not necessarily true.

Personal data collection is more likely for registered users than casual visitors, and the privacy policy might have been updated since a user last logged in. Those changes could impact the collection of personal data from registered users, so it makes sense to provide a link to the policy before users log in.

Multisite networks have a variety of use cases, and in many of them single-site administrators are not trusted to take actions that affect the whole network, require making decisions about legal compliance, etc. By default, those actions should require super admin capabilities. Plugins can be used to override that behavior if a particular site's use case calls for it.
