For a number of years, most of the WordPress error messages have been prefixed with "Error:". However, these messages appear in a context where it's already clear an error occurred. Whether it's an error, a warning, or any other classification, that's not so relevant for users. The content of the message is the relevant part. The "Error:" prefix doesn't add great value while it does add unnecessary complexity for the message readability.
Also, revises some of these messages to improve clarity and removes HTML from translatable strings.

This avoids the performance overhead of the function call every time `dirname( __FILE__ )` was used instead of `__DIR__`.
This commit also includes:
* Removing unnecessary parentheses from `include`/`require` statements. These are language constructs, not function calls.
* Replacing `include` statements for several files with `require_once`, for consistency:
* `wp-admin/admin-header.php`
* `wp-admin/admin-footer.php`
* `wp-includes/version.php`

* Add missing translator comments.
* Fix placement of some translator comments. Translator comments should be on the line directly above the line containing the translation function call for optimal compatibility with various `.pot` file generation tools. The CS auto-fixing, which changed some inconsistent function calls to multi-line function calls, is part of the reason why this was no longer the case for a select group of translator comments.
Includes minor code layout fixes.
Polyglots, rejoice! All WordPress core files now have translator comments for all strings with placeholders!

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.

While intended as a playful error message, `Cheatin’ uh?` can be interpreted as insulting or accusatory in an already stressful situation. This replaces Cheatin’ with more meaningful error messages, depending on the error that occurs.

The WPCS `WordPress.WhiteSpace.PrecisionAlignment` rule throws warnings for a bunch of code that will likely cause issues for `wpcbf`. Fixing these manually beforehand gives us better auto-fixed results later.

Site administrators should not be able to remove themselves from a site. This moves the enforcement of this rule from `wp-admin/users.php` to `remove_user_from_blog()` via the `remove_user` capability, which furthermore allows us to get rid of two additional clauses and their `is_super_admin()` checks in `wp-admin/users.php`. A unit test for the new behavior has been added.

Bulk action filtering was introduced in 3.1, but only to remove default bulk actions, not add new ones.
Bulk actions can now be registered for all admin list table dropdowns via the `bulk_actions-{get_current_screen()->id}` filter. Handling custom bulk actions can be performed in the corresponding and newly introduced `handle_bulk_actions-${get_current_screen()->id}` filter.

The new format looks like "Sorry, you are not allowed to <action>.". This provides a consistent experience for all error messages related to missing permissions. It also reduces the number of similar strings and allows translators to provide a consistent style in their language.

Avoid references to "visual" positions in favour of positions in the document
structure. The help text shouldn't assume users can see.
Also, in the Posts screen don't mention specific types of posts and use a more
generic text instead.

User dropdowns in wp-admin have traditionally shown the users' display names.
However, this causes ambiguity when users share display names. To correct this,
we now show the unique user_login in parentheses after the display name.
The new `display_name_with_login` value for the `show` parameter of
`wp_dropdown_users()` enables this functionality. The default value of `show`
has not been changed, for backward compatibility, but all instances of
`wp_dropdown_users()` in core wp-admin have been switched.
This changeset also reduces some duplicated logic when assembling a user list
when `include_selected` is true.
