Old browsers didn't support the HTML placeholder attribute. For a number of years, `<label>` elements have been used in a few places in WordPress to emulate placeholders. It's time to improve semantics and interaction, use real placeholders when possible, and clean up some JavaScript.
- Quick Draft widget: it now uses visible `<label>` elements and a real `placeholder` attribute
- removes the related JavaScript
- Post title:
- keeps the "prompt" label for backwards compatibility
- improves the JavaScript to make the "prompt" label stay visible on focus and disappear when typing, like real placeholder do
- changes the post "prompt" text from "Enter title here" to "Add title" for consistency with the Block Editor
- cleans-up some CSS

A direct URL to where a user can update PHP for their website can now be specified in one of two ways:
- Defining the `WP_DIRECT_UPDATE_PHP_URL` environment variable.
- Returning a URL to the `wp_direct_php_update_url` filter.
When a URL is specified, an additional “Update PHP” button will be displayed at the bottom of the Core dashboard widget informing administrators that their site is running an outdated version of PHP (see [42832]).

With the exception of the "Edit" link, the "row actions" controls in the Comments table behave differently depending if JavaScript support is on or off.
When JavaScript support is off, they behave like links. When JavaScript support is on, they behave like buttons and they need to be buttons or have an ARIA `role="button"` added via JavaScript.
Lastly, the buttons in the Reply/Quick Edit form and the "Add Comment" in the edit post page meta box need to be buttons.

This changeset uses the API functions introduced in [44476] to link to the resource about updating PHP when highlighting a plugin's required PHP version is not met. It furthermore expands them, introducing a new `wp_update_php_annotation()` function that prints the markup to indicate that the default URL has been altered by the web host, allowing it to be reused universally.
Furthermore, this changeset adds missing `update_php` capability checks before displaying the information about updating PHP.

After [42832], [42891] and [43006], this changeset refines the core notice informing about an outdated PHP version:
* The link to the Update PHP information page can now be adjusted using either a `WP_UPDATE_PHP_URL` environment variable, or a new `wp_update_php_url` filter.
* If that URL is different from the default one that points to https://wordpress.org/support/update-php/ or its localized equivalent, a note indicates that the linked resource has not been provided by WordPress itself, and the default URL is still linked to as an additional resource.
* The URL for the default information page has been updated to use the slug `update-php` instead of `upgrade-php`.
* `@since` annotations have been updated.
Going forward, admin areas that display information related to the PHP version should use the new function `wp_get_update_php_url()`.

The block editor needs to duplicate the classic meta box behaviour, so it can extract the registered meta boxes, and import them into the block editor.
To match the classic editor behaviour as closely as possible, this moves the relevant code from the classic editor, into a new function, so it can be called by both.

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.

This new dashboard widget is shown on WordPress sites which are powered by a PHP version which WordPress considers outdated, in order to inform site owners about the resulting problems and to explain how to upgrade to a supported version. An education page for that purpose has been previously created that the widget links to. The link is translatable so that localized versions of the page can be referred to as they become available.
The nag follows the example of the Browse Happy dashboard widget and is only visible for administrators, or network administrators when using multisite. To determine whether it needs to be displayed, a new wordpress.org API introduced prior is called that handles the version logic in a centralized location.

The checks were introduced in [22256] to prevent user settings to be set for super admins that were not a member of the current site. However the latter should apply to any kind of user, so the `is_super_admin()` check is redundant.

By enabling the user to select their preferred locale when editing the profile, we allow for greater personalization of the WordPress admin and therefore a better user experience.
The back end will be displayed in the user's individual locale while the locale used on the front end equals the one set for the whole site. If the user didn't specify a locale, the site's locale will be used as a fallback. The new `locale` property of the `WP_User` class can be used to retrieve the user's locale setting.

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

The plugin details modal can be invoked from several screens. There's now a new
`.open-plugin-details-modal` CSS class to be used in combination with the
`.thickbox` CSS class that adds everything needed for accessibility.
- Adds an ARIA role `dialog` and an `aria-label` attribute to the modal
- Adds a `title` attribute to the iframe inside the modal
- Constrains tabbing within the modal
- Restores focus back in a proper place when closing the modal
Also, improves a bit the native Thickbox implementation: it should probably be
replaced with some more modern tool but at least keyboard focus should be moved
inside the modal.
