Visible `<label>` elements benefit all users. The `placeholder` attribute should not be used as a replacement for visible labels.
Instead, it's supposed to be used only for a short hint to aid users with data entry e.g. a sample value or a brief description of the expected format.
Screen readers may not announce a `placeholder` attribute at all. Other users may suffer from the lack of a visible label and a placeholder used as replacement, for example:
- users with cognitive disabilities may have trouble remembering what the filled field does
- speech recognition users cannot see the name they can speak to set focus on the field
- low-vision users with high text-size may not be able to see the whole placeholder even when it's visible, if its value is clipped by the edge of the input

Headings are the predominant mechanism for screen reader users to find information in a page. They also help all users to better identify the main sections of user interfaces.
- adds three new headings within the media modal

The ARIA tabs pattern improves interaction for keyboard and assistive technologies users.
It gives the menu items proper roles, and `aria-selected` allows users of assistive technologies to know which tab is currently selected.

Makes sure the media modal dialog `h1` heading isn't empty when custom media frames don't set a title. This is particularly important now that the media modal is an ARIA dialog, as the title is referenced by an `aria-labelledby` attribute to properly label the dialog.

For a number of years, the Media modal missed an explicit ARIA role and the required attributes for modal dialogs.
This was confusing for assistive technology users, since they may not realize they're inside a dialog, and that consequently the keyboard interactions may be different from the rest of the page. Lack of an explicit label for the dialog was confusing as well, since assistive technology users didn't have an immediate sense of what the dialog is for.
This change makes the Media modal meet the ARIA Authoring Practices recommendations, helping users better understand the purpose and interactions with the modal. Also, it makes sure to hide the rest of the page content from assistive technologies, until support for `aria-modal="true"` improves.
Additionally:
- moves the modal H1 heading to the beginning of the modal content
- changes the modal left menu position to make visual and DOM order match
- improves the `wp.media.view.FocusManager` documentation

- changes the media views form controls to have explicitly associated labels with for/id attributes
- adds a few missing labels / aria-labels
- improves a few existing labels / aria-labels
- improves semantics in a few places, by adding visually hidden headings, fieldset + legend elements, aria-describedby attributes
- improves the image custom size input fields and their labelling
- adds `role="status"` to the "saved" indicator so that status messages are announced to assistive technologies
- swaps the columns source order in the image details template, to make visual and DOM order match
- swaps the "Replace" and "Back" buttons source order in the Replace Image view, to make visual and DOM order match
- gallery settings: move checkbox label to the right: checkboxes are supposed to have labels on the right
- merge similar strings, unified to "Drop files to upload" (removed "Drop files here", and "Drop files anywhere to upload")
- makes the "upload-ui" consistent across the media views
- hides the IE 11 "X" `::-ms-clear` button in the Insert from URL field, as it conflicts with the uploading spinner
- adds comments to all the media templates to clarify their usage
- slightly increases vertical spacing between form fields in the media sidebar
- removes some CSS selectors introduced as backwards compatibility for WordPress pre-4.4
- removes some CSS still targeting Internet Explorer 7 and 8

Many users found the attachment URL field confusing: it says "URL" so it may appear like a field meant to paste a URL into.
Also, the Alt text field is the most important one in terms of content, while the Title field needs to be de-emphasized.
- changes the URL field label to "Copy link"
- moves the alt text field to the top as first field
- avoids to set initial focus on the alt text field
- adds an explanatory text with a link pointing to the W3C "alt decision tree" tutorial
- adds `aria-describedby` to target the explanatory text
- adjusts the CSS accordingly
- updates the QUnit index.html file

When Internet Explorer encounters a non interactive element with a `tabindex`
attribute, it adds the element to the accessibility tree with a `role=group` and
an accessible name computed from the element. This prevents JAWS from announcing
any fieldset legend within the element.
- removes `tabindex="0"` from the content and the toolbar containers: these tabindex attributes are no longer needed
- removes `aria-label="Main content"` from the content container: not needed
- keeps the media modal focus fallback introduced in [38142] by making the `#wpbody-content` element focusable only when needed

Adjusts the packages registration after [43723]:
Combine the different registration functions into one `wp_default_packages` function. To reach this goal move the prefix logic into a function so it can be called from different locations. Use a static variable there to prevent duplicate inclusion of `version.php`.
Call this function from the `wp_default_scripts` action by registering it as a default filter.
Combine some of the logic in `_WP_Editors::print_tinymce_scripts` into `wp_register_tinymce_scripts`. The logic to force an uncompressed TinyMCE script file stays in `_WP_Editors::force_uncompressed_tinymce` because that logic is very specific to the classic editor.
The script handle `wp-tinymce` is now a dependency of the editor script handle. In combination with the previous item, this makes the classic editor work.
Adjust the syntax of the script paths to be more consistent with other WordPress code.
Always use "production" mode for the media files to prevent people from inadvertently committing development files.

* Minification is done by uglify, so disable that in the media build.
* The webpack boilerplate has changed, which explains the changes in the build files.
* ModuleConcatenationPlugin is enable by default for production builds so we don't have to specify that ourselves.
Merge notes: In `trunk` uglify isn't run on the media files after webpack, so webpack does need to do that. Newer webpack versions use `terser-webpack-plugin` as the default minification. Use the `uglifyjs-webpack-plugin` plugin to maintain the same behavior as before. We can look into terser as a minifier later.

These annotations make it clear to the reader of a JavaScript source
where the build process outputs to. These annotations can later be
integrated in a webpack configuration. This way there is one source of
truth.
The `build` folder is omitted from the paths, because a single JS file
shouldn't not be responsible of knowing where outputs in general will
end up at. A file only knows its output location relative to the
project.

In many a strange and curious file of forgotten lore—
While I pondered, blaming Nacin, my notifications suddenly awakened,
As of someone quietly DMing;—DMing me, I can’t ignore.
“’Tis some contributor,” I muttered, “DMing me an idea or four—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember, at WordCamp US, last December;
A mad proposal nearly laid me—down out cold—upon the floor.
Curious, I listened closely;—to a plan I agreed with, mostly—
A way to make our JavaScript—JavaScript which was a chore—
Maintainable, extendable, for the future, is what I saw.
Guten-ready for evermore.
Open here I switch to Slack, when, with many a patch and hack,
In there stepped Omar, a JavaScript developer hardcore;
Pronouncing all the changes fit; ready now to be commit;
“There’s nothing else for us to do,” DMing me, “It’s done!” he swore—
“No longer random guessing at which file need next be explored—
Let’s move on, we’re all aboard.”
Moved all together, grouped and managed, in folders all is packaged,
The code had all been cleaned and tidied, important parts moved to the fore,
“Though this change be useful here,” I said, “it is too large, I fear,
We couldn’t manage such a patch, we’ve done nothing like this before—
Tell me where doth go this change, change to make our codebase soar!”
Quoth Omar, “In WordPress Core.”
Props omarreis for shepherding this significant change.

As decided in the JavaScript core chat. With a few reasons:
* It is visually cleaner when reading the source.
* This bring the JavaScript documentation closer to the PHP documentation.
The only disadvantage is that the JSDoc parser doesn't split out the summary and the description in the new format. We've decided to solve this when building the JavaScript documentation parser.
