The `register_globals` directive in PHP was deprecated in version 5.3 and removed entirely in 5.4.
Now that WordPress only supports PHP 5.6.20 and newer, the `wp_unregister_GLOBALS()` function can be deprecated.

This avoids the performance overhead of the function call every time `dirname( __FILE__ )` was used instead of `__DIR__`.
This commit also includes:
* Removing unnecessary parentheses from `include`/`require` statements. These are language constructs, not function calls.
* Replacing `include` statements for several files with `require_once`, for consistency:
* `wp-admin/admin-header.php`
* `wp-admin/admin-footer.php`
* `wp-includes/version.php`

This change introduces a new Composer script, `compat` that will scan the codebase for (detectable) potential PHP compatibility issues using the `PHP_CodeSniffer` and a custom ruleset based off of the `PHPCompayibilityWP` ruleset (`phpcompat.xml.dist`).
The command will be run as a separate job within each Travis build. While many compatibility issues and false positives have already been corrected in this commit and other Trac tickets, there are still some remaining. For that reason, the job is allowed to fail while the remainder of the potential compatibility issues are investigated and addressed. After those are resolved, the job should be set as required to pass to help prevent new compatibility issues from being introduced.
Props desrosj, jrf, all PHPCompatibilityWP and PHPCompatibility contributors.

Rather than relying `func_get_args()` to retrieve arbitrary function arguments, we can now use the spread operator to assign them directly to a variable.
While these functions are deprecated, they can still get a minor performance boost in case they are being called.
Props jrf.

Noteable changes:
- The `magic_quotes_runtime` and `magic_quotes_sybase` settings were removed in PHP 5.4, so no longer need to be set.
- Some functions that use external libraries can generate errors that can't be tested for, so are globally allowed to silence errors.
- Quite a few functions would cause errors if `safe_mode` was set. This setting was removed in PHP 5.4.
- Only a handful of `header()` calls needed corresponding `headers_sent()` checks for unit tests to pass, but more may need to be added as the nightlies builds are tested.

Use of `date()` in core depends on PHP timezone set to UTC and not changed by third party code (which cannot be guaranteed).
`gmdate()` is functionally equivalent, but is not affected by PHP timezone setting: it's always UTC, which is the exact behavior the core needs.

"Install" is not a noun, and while it might be acceptable to use the verb as a noun, it is not correct. Using the correct
noun, "installation", increases clarity, especially for non-native English speakers.
This change fixes the usage in user-facing text and in developer documentation.

In addition to `wp_list_filter()` for filtering a list of objects, and `wp_list_pluck()` for plucking a certain field out of each object in a list, this new function can be used for sorting a list of objects by specific fields. These functions are now all contained within the new `WP_List_Util()` class and `wp_list_sort()` is used in various parts of core for sorting lists.
This was previously committed in [38859] but got reverted in [38862] and [38863]. To fix the previous issues, `wp_list_sort()` supports now an additional argument to preserve array keys via `uasort()`.

This function was originally introduced to fix an XSS attack in Netscape 4, which never affected any other browsers, or later versions of Netscape.
I'm willing to go out on a limb, and say that we've officially dropped security support for Netscape 4.

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.

* Don't lower memory limit if the current limit is greater than `WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT`.
* Set `WP_MEMORY_LIMIT` and `WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT` to current limit if the `memory_limit` setting can't be changed at runtime.
* Use `wp_convert_hr_to_bytes()` when parsing the value of the `memory_limit` setting because it can be a shorthand or an integer value.
* Introduce `wp_raise_memory_limit( $context )` to raise the PHP memory limit for memory intensive processes. This DRYs up some logic and includes the existing `admin_memory_limit` and `image_memory_limit` filters. The function can also be used for custom contexts, the `{$context}_memory_limit` filter allows to customize the limit.
* Introduce `wp_is_ini_value_changeable( $setting )` to determine whether a PHP ini value is changeable at runtime.
* Remove a `function_exists( 'memory_get_usage' )` check. Since PHP 5.2.1 support for memory limit is always enabled.

`_wp_upload_dir_baseurl()` is a private function introduced in 4.4
as part of the "responsive images" feature. It was for runtime
caching of the URL to the uploads directory. It is deprecated in
4.5 with the introduction of `wp_get_upload_dir()`.
Outside core, it's only used as part of a back-compat shim in the
original feature plugin for responsive images (ricg-responsive-images),
which includes its own version of the function definition, so it's
safe to remove from core.
