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.

* `WP_List_Table::get_default_primary_column_name()` is a protected method, so calling it statically with the class name is bad practice.
* Similarly, this applies when calling a private constructor in `WP_Screen::get()`.

- Enable arranging only when the Screen Options tab is open.
- Prevent accidental/unintended dragging. Seen it happen mostly on laptops when using the mousepad/trackpad.
- Improve discoverability and usefulness by always showing the "drop zones" outline when postboxes are draggable/arrangeable.
- Add some (brief) explanation to the Screen Options tab helping the user understand what options are available and how to change them. This is especially helpful for screen reader users to give an idea how to use the screen options and what to expect.
- Fix/enhance some of the code in `postbox.js` and make it coding standards compliant.

* Restore the `$mode` global for backward compatibility.
* Remove redundant check, as `$mode` is already set at this point, and already defaults to `list` via `get_user_setting()`'s second argument.
* Use sentence case for "View mode" and "Extended view" labels.

* Add missing translator comments.
* Fix placement of some translator comments. Translator comments should be on the line directly above the line containing the translation function call for optimal compatibility with various `.pot` file generation tools. The CS auto-fixing, which changed some inconsistent function calls to multi-line function calls, is part of the reason why this was no longer the case for a select group of translator comments.
Includes minor code layout fixes.
Polyglots, rejoice! All WordPress core files now have translator comments for all strings with placeholders!

Currently, there are a number of scenarios where `is_block_editor()` (and `WP_Screen::is_block_editor`) would incorrectly indicate block editor support at different points of the loading process. Most notably, checking `is_block_editor` when hooking into the `current_screen` action will always result in `false`, even when the block editor is being loaded. This is because `is_block_editor` is not set to `true` until `edit-form-blocks.php` is included.
This change adds logic to `WP_Screen` to ensure the accuracy of `is_block_editor` on block editor pages earlier in the load process.
While edit screens will now be accurate 100% of the time from `current_screen` on, there are still a few edge cases where `is_block_editor` could contain an incorrect value when creating a new post.
Because a `WP_Post` object is a required parameter for the `replace_editor` filter and `use_block_editor_for_post()` function, `WP_Screen` will fall back to the value returned by `use_block_editor_for_post_type()` for the post being created. To eliminate these edge cases, the `use_block_editor_for_post_type` filter can be used to return the appropriate boolean value to indicate support.

WPCS 1.0.0 includes a bunch of new auto-fixers, which drops the number of coding standards issues across WordPress significantly. Prior to running the auto-fixers, there were 15,312 issues detected. With this commit, we now drop to 4,769 issues.
This change includes three notable additions:
- Multiline function calls must now put each parameter on a new line.
- Auto-formatting files is now part of the `grunt precommit` script.
- Auto-fixable coding standards issues will now cause Travis failures.

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.

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.

Reverting this for 4.9. It will be added back in a future version of WordPress. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't be trying Gutenberg, just that it isn't ready for a call out to a larger audience.

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.

This ensures all the column titles, not just the Comments column one, are
"clean" when later reused for the Screen Options checkboxes. Also introduces
