Switching a WordPress site from HTTP to HTTPS has historically been a tedious task. While on the surface the Site Address and WordPress Address have to be updated, existing content still remains using HTTP URLs where hard-coded in the database. Furthermore, updating _two_ URLs to migrate to HTTPS is still a fairly unintuitive step which is not clearly explained.
This changeset simplifies migration from HTTP to HTTPS and, where possible, makes it a one-click interaction.
* Automatically replace insecure versions of the Site Address (`home_url()`) with its HTTPS counterpart on the fly if the site has been migrated from HTTP to HTTPS. This is accomplished by introducing a `https_migration_required` option and enabling it when the `home_url()` is accordingly changed.
* A new `wp_replace_insecure_home_url()` function is hooked into various pieces of content to replace URLs accordingly.
* The migration only kicks in when the Site Address (`home_url()`) and WordPress Address (`site_url()`) match, which is the widely common case. Configurations where these differ are often maintained by more advanced users, where this migration routine would be less essential - something to potentially iterate on in the future though.
* The migration does not actually update content in the database. More savvy users that prefer to do that can prevent the migration logic from running by either deleting the `https_migration_required` option or using the new `wp_should_replace_insecure_home_url` filter.
* For fresh sites that do not have any content yet at the point of changing the URLs to HTTPS, the migration will also be skipped since it would not be relevant.
* Expose a primary action in the Site Health recommendation, if HTTPS is already supported by the environment, built on top of the HTTPS detection mechanism from [49904]. When clicked, the default behavior is to update `home_url()` and `site_url()` in one go to their HTTPS counterpart.
* A new `wp_update_urls_to_https()` function takes care of the update routine.
* A new `update_https` meta capability is introduced to control access.
* If the site's URLs are controlled by constants, this update is not automatically possible, so in these scenarios the user is informed about that in the HTTPS status check in Site Health.
* Allow hosting providers to modify the URLs linked to in the HTTPS status check in Site Health, similar to how that is possible for the URLs around updating the PHP version.
* A `WP_UPDATE_HTTPS_URL` environment variable or `wp_update_https_url` filter can be used to provide a custom URL with guidance about updating the site to use HTTPS.
* A `WP_DIRECT_UPDATE_HTTPS_URL` environment variable or `wp_direct_update_https_url` filter can be used to provide a custom URL for the primary CTA to update the site to use HTTPS.

This changeset introduces a filter-based Robots API, providing central control over the `robots` meta tag.
* Introduces `wp_robots()` function which should be called anywhere a `robots` meta tag should be included.
* Introduces `wp_robots` filter which allows adding or modifying directives for the `robots` meta tag. The `wp_robots()` function is entirely filter-based, i.e. if no filter is added to `wp_robots`, no directives will be present, and therefore the entire `robots` meta tag will be omitted.
* Introduces the following `wp_robots` filter functions which replace similar existing functions that were manually rendering a `robots` meta tag:
* `wp_robots_noindex()` replaces `noindex()`, which has been deprecated.
* `wp_robots_no_robots()` replaces `wp_no_robots()`, which has been deprecated.
* `wp_robots_sensitive_page()` replaces `wp_sensitive_page_meta()`, which has been deprecated. Its rendering of the `referrer` meta tag has been moved to another new function `wp_strict_cross_origin_referrer()`.
Migration to the new functions is straightforward. For example, a call to `add_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_no_robots' )` should be replaced with `add_filter( 'wp_robots', 'wp_robots_no_robots' )`.
Plugins and themes that render their own `robots` meta tags are encouraged to switch to rely on the `wp_robots` filter in order to use the central management layer now provided by WordPress core.

In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

While web crawlers are able to discover pages from links within the site and from other sites, XML sitemaps supplement this approach by allowing crawlers to quickly and comprehensively identify all URLs included in the sitemap and learn other signals about those URLs using the associated metadata.

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()`.

Using the new fatal handler introduced in [44962], an email is sent to the admin when a fatal error occurs. This email includes a secret link to enter recovery mode. When clicked, the link will be validated and on success a cookie will be placed on the client, enabling recovery mode for that user. This functionality is executed early before plugins and themes are loaded, in order to be unaffected by potential fatal errors these might be causing.
When in recovery mode, broken plugins and themes will be paused for that client, so that they are able to access the admin backend despite of these errors. They are notified about the broken extensions and the errors caused, and can then decide whether they would like to temporarily deactivate the extension or fix the problem and resume the extension.
A link in the admin bar allows the client to exit recovery mode.

This changeset introduces `$post` parameters to `get_the_content()` and
`wp_trim_excerpt()`. When a `$post` object is passed to one of these functions,
the functions will operate on the data from that object, rather than from the
post globals (`$authordata`, `$page`, etc). This ensures that the functions work
in a predictable manner when used outside of the regular post loop.
The global-mismatch problem is surfaced in cases where `get_the_excerpt()` is
called outside of the post loop, on posts that don't have a defined excerpt. In
these cases, the post globals - used to generate a fallback excerpt - may refer
to the incorrect object, resulting in PHP notices or other unpredictable
behavior. See #36934 for a related issue.

Adjusts the packages registration after [43723]:
Combine the different registration functions into one `wp_default_packages` function. To reach this goal move the prefix logic into a function so it can be called from different locations. Use a static variable there to prevent duplicate inclusion of `version.php`.
Call this function from the `wp_default_scripts` action by registering it as a default filter.
Combine some of the logic in `_WP_Editors::print_tinymce_scripts` into `wp_register_tinymce_scripts`. The logic to force an uncompressed TinyMCE script file stays in `_WP_Editors::force_uncompressed_tinymce` because that logic is very specific to the classic editor.
The script handle `wp-tinymce` is now a dependency of the editor script handle. In combination with the previous item, this makes the classic editor work.

Previously, when a plugin updated its suggested privacy policy text, an admin notice was shown on all screens in the Administration Panels. That was done in order to make sure that administrators were aware of it, so that they could update their policy if needed. That was a very heavy-handed and intrusive approach, though, which leads to a poor user experience, and notice fatigue.
An alternative approach is to use bubble notifications in the menu, similar to when plugins have updates that need to be installed. That still makes it obvious that something needs the administrator's attention, but is not as distracting as a notice.
The notice will still appear on the Privacy page, though, since it is relevant to that screen, and provides an explanation of why the bubble is appearing.
