`str_starts_with()` was introduced in PHP 8.0 to perform a case-sensitive check indicating if the string to search in (haystack) begins with the given substring (needle).
WordPress core includes a polyfill for `str_starts_with()` on PHP < 8.0 as of WordPress 5.9.
This commit replaces `0 === strpos( ... )` with `str_starts_with()` in core files, making the code more readable and consistent, as well as improving performance.
While `strpos()` is slightly faster than the polyfill on PHP < 8.0, `str_starts_with()` is noticeably faster on PHP 8.0+, as it is optimized to avoid unnecessarily searching along the whole haystack if it does not find the needle.

Using the canonical function name for PHP functions is strongly recommended, as aliases may be deprecated or removed without (much) warning.
This replaces all uses of the following:
* `join()` with `implode()`
* `sizeof()` with `count()`
* `is_writeable()` with `is_writable()`
* `doubleval()` with a `(float)` cast
In part, this is a follow-up to #47746.
Props jrf.

The admin menu icons are included as a visual element to support the text links. Without the `aria-hidden=“true”` attribute, they are also exposed to assistive technologies (which can process icon fonts in unpredictable ways).
This change improves the experience for multiple types of assistive technologies, including screen reading and voice control software. With `aria-hidden=“true”` added, the icons will not be read, and a user can now trigger a click of a top level admin menu item with commands such as “click posts”, or “click plugins”.

The `aria-current` attribute is a simple, effective way to communicate to assistive
technologies which the current item within a set of items is. While the admin menu
structure isn't 100% ideal (the top-level item is repeated also as a sub-item)
adding `aria-current="page"` to the sub-items gives an important feedback to
assistive technologies users.
This change introduces `aria-current` for the first time in core. Worth noting
there are other places where it can be used to improve accessibility. These should
be addressed in separate tickets and patches.

Currently, the "Collapse menu" item is not focusable and keyboard users can't collapse/expand the admin menu. This aims to fix it so that screen readers no longer announce it as a clickable but it remains unfocusable and thus unusable. So it's now a button.
Quoting joedolson at WordCamp Chicago 2014:
"If it's supposed to act like a button, it should be a button."
Also includes a grunt:precommit run that picked up some postcss changes to src/wp-includes/css/customize-preview.css

If you want to use a Dashicon before an element you can use the class because it will not change the elements content styling. With that you don't need to copy the entire `.dashicons` styling to your :before styling anymore.
To demonstrate this change, Admin Menu now uses Dashicons classes directly.
And it fixes a glitch in IE.

Both of these icons can be colored to match the color scheme, including hover states.
Both are accepted for register_post_type()'s menu_icon argument, and also add_menu_page()'s $icon_url argument.
To use a Dashicon, pass the name of the helper class, e.g. 'dashicons-piechart'.
To use an SVG, pass a valid data URI string starting with 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,'.
