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.

Meetup.com was previously removed as an oEmbed source, since they have deprecated their endpoint. The block has also been removed from the editor, see #GB35085.
This commit updates the associated changelog entry for the `oembed_providers` filter to version 6.0.1, as the change is being backported to the 6.0 branch.

The filter is the callback function added with `add_filter()`, therefore the hook passes a value to the filter, and the filter returns a value to change its behaviour.
The documentation is referring to the latter.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

This renames the file containing the `WP_oEmbed` class to conform to the coding standards.
This commit also includes:
- A new `class-oembed.php` that includes the new file, for anyone that may've been including the file directly.
- Replaces references to the old filename with the new filename.
