In many common Multisite use cases, the network administrator will want to set a network-wide privacy policy -- via the `privacy_policy_url` filter -- for consistency and convenience. When that's done, the Privacy Settings screen on individual sites becomes unnecessary, and may confuse administrators of those sites when they see that their changes don't have any effect on the policy link in the footer.
Since we can't programatically determine which behavior the network admins would like, the safest default setting is to restrict the ability to super admins, and let them delegate it to individual site owners via a plugin, if they'd like to.
Fixes#43935.

The page was originally placed under `Tools` so that it would be grouped with the pages to export and erase personal data, since they're all part of the effort to bring privacy management tools to Core ahead of GDPR's deadline. After more consideration, though, it makes sense to move this page to the `Settings` menu, since it's fundamental purpose is to configure an option, rather than to facilitate a recurring task. This keeps all of the configuration pages in a single place, making them consistent and easier to find.
Exporting and erasing personal data are recurring tasks, so they still make sense under the `Tools` menu.

The new meta capabilities are called `install_languages` and `update_languages`. Prior to this change, there were no proper capability checks applied. Instead only the filesystem and related constants were checked, and for actual permissions a rather vague fallback was used where a user needed to have at least one of the other updating capabilities. In addition to being generally more verbose, the new capabilities make it possible for example to allow a user to update languages, but nothing else. By default they fall back to the original way of how they were handled.

`setup_network` is a new meta capability that brings more granular control over the permissions to setup a multisite environment. In a non-multisite environment it falls back to `manage_options` while in a multisite it falls back to `manage_network_options`. The introduction of this capability furthermore allows replacing an `is_super_admin()` check.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.
Note: 'backwards compatibility/compatibile' can also be considered correct, though it's primary seen in regular use in British English.

Using the same `$post_new_file` global variable name in `wp-admin/menu.php` in [33723] was unintentional, but we're already unsetting other variables that are in global scope so we can just unset this one as well. Someday the admin menu won't be a big pile of sad and cryptic globals. Maybe.

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,'.

* Attachments now go through post.php, edit_post(), the like, and have show_ui set to true.
* Taxonomies attached to the media library now appear in the admin menu (if show_ui).
* Editing, cropping, uploading, etc. is still very rough, but mostly functional.
API-wise:
* New function: get_taxonomies_for_attachments(). Like get_taxonomies(), for taxonomies specifically registered against attachments.
* Brings taxonomy support from the posts list table to the media list table. Expect them to converge soon.
* wp_insert_attachment() now handles taxonomies like wp_insert_post(). Also expect them to converge soon.
* New edit_form_after_title hook.

When blog_public only has two values (as judged by whether the blog_privacy_selector action is used), convert from radio buttons to a checkbox, and rename from 'Site Visibility' to a more specific 'Search Engine Visibility'.
