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

* 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!

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.

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.

Fixes the Add Themes toolbar padding. Standardizes the placeholders to no title
case and three trailing dots. Expands the Media search placeholder in
"Search media items..." for consistency with the Plugins and Themes toolbars.

Introduces some consistency in the usage of the button CSS classes, fixes the
focus style for accessibility and responsiveness of the buttons.
- Adds the `button` class to all primary buttons make them responsive
- Removes all `secondary-button` classes and replaces it with button when needed. `button-secondary` shouldn't be used and exists just for backward compatibility reasons
- Replaces classes inside `submit_button()` with a shorthand for some buttons, and use an empty string for the default `button` class. Passing `button` is unnecessary
- Adjusts `get_submit_button()` to remove empty items

The media library can contain files which aren't attached yet. When attaching a file you currently get "Media attachment reattached.", or the opposite "Media attachment detached.". That's redundant and can be inaccurate. It's also not easy to translate in some languages.
This change generalizes the strings to refer to a "media file" instead.

Related to the toolbar view, remove the `wp_admin_canonical_url()` action in grid mode. Grid views that result from links from the list table view are lenses into the library and need to be indicated as such vs being a full attachment query.

* In `->handle_row_actions()`, bail immediately if `$primary` and `$column_name` do not match. Saves us a nesting level and avoids declaring code that is unusable.
* In `WP_List_Table::single_row_columns()`, allow `_column_{$name}` to be called dynamically by core to avoid having to override the entirety of `->single_row_columns()` in `WP_MS_Users_List_Table` and `WP_Posts_List_Table`
* In `WP_MS_Sites_List_Table`, `id` is not a column.
