Previously, `wp_favicon_request()` was introduced in [13205] to avoid a performance hit of serving a full 404 page on every favicon request.
While working as intended, that implementation did not provide a way for theme or plugin authors to manage the behavior of favicon requests.
This changeset implements the following logic (only applied if WordPress is installed in the root directory):
* If there is a Site Icon set in Customizer, redirect `/favicon.ico` requests to that icon.
* Otherwise, use the WordPress logo as a default icon.
* If a physical `/favicon.ico` file exists, do nothing, let the server handle the request.
Handling `/favicon.ico` is now more consistent with handling `/robots.txt` requests.
New functions and hooks:
* Introduce `is_favicon()` conditional tag to complement `is_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_favicon` action to complement `do_robots` and use it in template loader.
* Introduce `do_favicon()` function, hooked to the above action by default, to complement `do_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_faviconico` action to complement `do_robotstxt`, for plugins to override the default behavior.
* Mark `wp_favicon_request()` as deprecated in favor of `do_favicon()`.

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.

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 bug where an invalid Last-Modified value would be returned in feed requests for sites that had 0 items to return. Comment or post feeds will now return the current timestamp as the Last-Modified header value. Example: a request for the comments feed for a site without any comments.
Replaced use of the local static variable `$cache_lastcommentmodified` to store the modified date in `get_lastcommentmodified()` with the Object Cache API. The `get_lastcommentmodified()` function returns early if there is a cached value and returns `false` if there where no comments found. Introduced `_clear_modified_cache_on_transition_comment_status()` to flush the `lastcommentmodified` cache key when a comment enters or leaves approval status. In `get_lastpostmodified()` return early if there is a cached value and return `false` if there are no posts found.

It is possible to delegate pingback processing to a service function outside of WordPress itself. All other calls in default themes (and likely other themes) uses `bloginfo` which automatically adds the filter argument of "display". This adds consistency.

This private query var allows the hierarchical page query on the Pages listing screen to query for `wp_posts.ID, wp_posts.post_parent` instead of `wp_posts.*`. This introduces large memory and time savings when the site contains a large number of Pages. Combined with the processing time savings introduced in [31730] this makes the Pages listing screen considerably more performant.

The rewrite rule matching code in WP::parse_request() used an unclear variable `$request` to represent the requested path (e.g. "2016/05/03") as well as a deceptively named variable `$request_uri`, which actually represents the requested file when an install used PATHINFO links.
Those variables are replaced with `$requested_path` and `$requested_file` respectively for clarity.

Twelve years later, after no fewer than three themes have intentionally implemented popup comments in their functionality, before being abandoned for at least the last six years, we've reached a time where we can put this era behind us. A time when we can remove comment popup functionality from WordPress.

[34247] made the 'public' paramater of `register_taxonomy()` work by blocking
requests for non-public taxonomy archives during `parse_request()`. Blocking
taxonomy archive requests this late means that it's impossible to register an
independent query var that matches the slug of a non-public taxonomy. By
moving the block to `register_taxonomy()` - not allowing these taxonomies to
register their query vars in the first place - we free up the slug for other
use. In addition, we free up a bit of processing (no need to look for the query
var in `parse_request()` and better parallel the way non-public post types
work. See `register_post_type()`.
Non-public taxonomy archives that are requested using `?taxonomy=tax_name` are
still blocked during `parse_request`. It's only custom query vars -
`?tax_name=term` - that are affected by this change.

For the past 6 years, WordPress has operated as an oEmbed consumer, allowing users to easily embed content from other sites. By adding oEmbed provider support, this allows any oEmbed consumer to embed posts from WordPress sites.
In addition to creating an oEmbed provider, WordPress' oEmbed consumer code has been enhanced to work with any site that provides oEmbed data (as long as it matches some strict security rules), and provides a preview from within the post editor.
For security, embeds appear within a sandboxed iframe - the iframe content is a template that can be styled or replaced entirely by the theme on the provider site.

Awesome rewrite bug: the `page` query var was being set to `'/4'` in `$wp`. When cast to `int`, it returns `0` (Bless you, PHP). `WP_Query` calls `trim( $page, '/' )` when setting its own query var. The few places that were checking `page` before posts were queried now have sanity checks, so that these changes work without flushing rewrites.
Adds/updates unit tests.

[13216] introduced the 'public' argument for `register_taxonomy()`. This param
was used to set defaults for 'show_ui' and a number of other params, but it
never did anything itself.
With this changeset, taxonomies registered with `public=false` will no longer
be queryable on the front end, ie via taxonomy archive queries.
