Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.
There are a number of ways to mitigate this:
* If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo.
* For known properties: declare them on the class.
* For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al. methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly optimized versions of these magic methods built in.
* For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes.
Trac ticket #56034 is open to investigate and handle the third and fourth type of situations, however it has become clear this will need more time and will not be ready in time for WP 6.1.
To reduce “noise” in the meantime, both in the error logs of WP users moving onto PHP 8.2, in the test run logs of WP itself, in test runs of plugins and themes, as well as to prevent duplicate tickets from being opened for the same issue, this commit adds the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute to all “parent” classes in WP.
The logic used for this commit is as follows:
* If a class already has the attribute: no action needed.
* If a class does not `extend`: add the attribute.
* If a class does `extend`:
- If it extends `stdClass`: no action needed (as `stdClass` supports dynamic properties).
- If it extends a PHP native class: add the attribute.
- If it extends a class from one of WP's external dependencies: add the attribute.
* In all other cases: no action — the attribute should not be needed as child classes inherit from the parent.
Whether or not a class contains magic methods has not been taken into account, as a review of the currently existing magic methods has shown that those are generally not sturdy enough and often even set dynamic properties (which they should not). See the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE live stream from August 16, 2022] for more details.
This commit only affects classes in the `src` directory of WordPress core.
* Tests should not get this attribute, but should be fixed to not use dynamic properties instead. Patches for this are already being committed under ticket #56033.
* While a number bundled themes (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021) contain classes, they are not a part of this commit and may be updated separately.

Add post type and taxonomy specific registration argument hooks.
Introduces the filters `register_{$post_type}_post_type_args` and `register_{$taxonomy}_taxonomy_args`. Introduces the actions `registered_post_type_{$post_type}` and `registered_taxonomy_{$taxonomy}`.

Improve the translation of post type and taxonomy labels by caching the translations during runtime. To account for internationalisation plugins, the runtime cache is cleared as the post types/taxonomies are reinitiated on `change_local` hook.
The same property and methods are added to both `WP_Post_Type` and `WP_Taxonomy`:
* `$default_labels`: for storing the translated strings at runtime
* `get_default_labels()`: for getting the default labels, these are translated on the first run and stored in the new property.
* `reset_default_labels()`: to clear the runtime cache and force a re-translation of the default labels

Use 3-digit, x.x.x-style semantic versioning for `@since` tags of the `$rest_namespace` property in `WP_Post_Type` and `WP_Taxonomy`.
Add a `@since` note to `WP_REST_Taxonomies_Controller::get_item_schema()` for the `visibility` and `rest_namespace` properties.
The `rest_base` property was also added after the method was initially introduced, but that happened during the same release cycle, so it doesn't need a separate `@since` note.

While a custom post type can define a custom route by using the `rest_base` argument, a namespace of `wp/v2` was assumed. This commit introduces support for a `rest_namespace` argument.
A new `rest_get_route_for_post_type_items` function has been introduced and the `rest_get_route_for_post` function updated to facilitate getting the correct route for custom post types.
While the WordPress Core Block Editor bootstrap code has been updated to use these API functions, for maximum compatibility sticking with the default `wp/v2` namespace is recommended until the API functions see wider use.

* Fix typo in `$delete_with_user` description, adjust for better readability.

The `add_post_type_support()` function accepts an optional third parameter that allows extra arguments to be supplied to configure post type support for a given feature. However, because of how `register_post_type()` and `WP_Post_Type->add_supports()` work, it is currently impossible to pass these additional arguments when initially registering a post type with `register_post_type()`.
This change makes it possible to supply additional arguments for a feature using the `supports` argument of `register_post_type()`.

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.

This changes the global `$wp_post_types` to an array of `WP_Post_Type` objects. `WP_Post_Type` includes methods to handle post type supports, rewrite rules, meta boxes, hooks, and taxonomies.
Each post type argument becomes a property of `WP_Post_Type`.
