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.

- Separate the guide text form the suggested policy text.
- Add table of content for easier navigation.
- Move the content to tools.php (prevents the settings menu of being open).
- Add a link to the guide from the Privacy settings screen.

Personal data collection is more likely for registered users than casual visitors, and the privacy policy might have been updated since a user last logged in. Those changes could impact the collection of personal data from registered users, so it makes sense to provide a link to the policy before users log in.

By making the pagination links use the default style for buttons, color contrast
is improved and the CSS is simplified. Improves consistency with other UI controls.
Also, slightly increases the white space below the pagination links.

The updated version of the nag is shorter, more on point and less aggressive than the previous one. It integrates better with the other dashboard widgets and fixes several accessibility concerns. A yellow warning color is used when the current PHP version is outdated, a red error color is used when it is also insecure.

This new dashboard widget is shown on WordPress sites which are powered by a PHP version which WordPress considers outdated, in order to inform site owners about the resulting problems and to explain how to upgrade to a supported version. An education page for that purpose has been previously created that the widget links to. The link is translatable so that localized versions of the page can be referred to as they become available.
The nag follows the example of the Browse Happy dashboard widget and is only visible for administrators, or network administrators when using multisite. To determine whether it needs to be displayed, a new wordpress.org API introduced prior is called that handles the version logic in a centralized location.

For a number of years, the "Available Widgets" section has been off-limits for
keyboard users. Now it can be used also with the keyboard. This change introduces
also some improvements for assistive technologies.
- makes the widget toggles focusable and adds an `aria-expanded` attribute to indicate their state
- improves the toggles labelling to clarify context (add/edit)
- changes the controls to choose a sidebar from list items to buttons
- adds an `aria-label` attribute to the buttons to clarify their purpose
- adds an `aria-pressed` attribute to the buttons to indicate which one is selected
- improves color contrast of the selected button
- uses a `wp.a11y.speak()` message to announce to screen reader users when a widget has been added to a sidebar
- moves focus back to the toggle button when closing a widget

For a number of years, the link to the Widgets screen "Accessibility mode" lived
in the Screen Options panel, hidden by default. Many users, including assistive
technologies users, weren't able to find it or even aware it existed. By bringing
the link in the main screen, visible by default, this change makes the
"Accessibility mode" easily discoverable for everyone.

For better accessibility and semantics, user interface controls that perform an
action should be buttons. Links should exclusively be used for navigation.
Also, adds an `aria-expanded` attribute to communicate the expandable panel state
and improves the buttons spacing.
