- Enable arranging only when the Screen Options tab is open.
- Prevent accidental/unintended dragging. Seen it happen mostly on laptops when using the mousepad/trackpad.
- Improve discoverability and usefulness by always showing the "drop zones" outline when postboxes are draggable/arrangeable.
- Add some (brief) explanation to the Screen Options tab helping the user understand what options are available and how to change them. This is especially helpful for screen reader users to give an idea how to use the screen options and what to expect.
- Fix/enhance some of the code in `postbox.js` and make it coding standards compliant.

So far, it has been possible to rearrange into a new order the post boxes (also known as "widgets" on the Dashboard and "meta boxes" on the Edit post page) only by using a pointing device, for example a mouse.
This change adds new controls and functionality to allow the boxes to be rearranged also with the keyboard. Additionally, audible messages are sent to the admin ARIA live region to notify screen reader users of the reorder action result.

- makes the postboxes areas in the Dashboard visible also on large screens
- uses a more meaningful text when all postboxes areas are empty instead of "Drag boxes here"
- restores the ability to drag boxes to the "advanced" area in the Classic Editor page
- makes the postboxes areas in the Classic Editor page visible while dragging so that users have a clue what the available areas are
- improves the color contrast of the postboxes areas while dragging
- uses `wp.i18n` for translatable strings in `wp-admin/js/postbox.js`

Repeated containers used for custom fields have duplicate ID attributes. Duplicate IDs are incorrect HTML, and will also cause unexpected results when trying to manipulate using JS. Duplicate IDs are changed to matching classes; CSS & JS updated to match.

Many variables in the JavaScript were defined in the global scope without being explicitly assigned to the window. When built with Webpack, the code gets encapsulated in anonymous functions and those implicit globals get assigned to the wrong scope. This patch prevents that from happening.

These annotations make it clear to the reader of a JavaScript source
where the build process outputs to. These annotations can later be
integrated in a webpack configuration. This way there is one source of
truth.
The `build` folder is omitted from the paths, because a single JS file
shouldn't not be responsible of knowing where outputs in general will
end up at. A file only knows its output location relative to the
project.

As decided in the JavaScript core chat. With a few reasons:
* It is visually cleaner when reading the source.
* This bring the JavaScript documentation closer to the PHP documentation.
The only disadvantage is that the JSDoc parser doesn't split out the summary and the description in the new format. We've decided to solve this when building the JavaScript documentation parser.
Props herregroen.

JSDoc takes it structural data from `@namespace`, `@lends` and `@memberOf`. This change fixes these tags for all JavaScript files in the wp-admin folder.
* Add jsdoc configuration to parse wp-admin/js files. Use `jsdoc -c jsdoc.conf.json` to generate JSDoc.
* Define all used namespaces using `@namespace`.
* Define each usage of the extend function as a prototype assignment using `@lends`.
* Add `@alias` if JSDoc cannot detect the correct name automatically.
This has previously been corrected for all `wp-includes` JavaScript files: [41351].
Props herregroen.

These checkboxes are used on the Menus screen options and the Customizer Menus options.
Their IDs were removed in [34991] but they're needed to get the checkboxes to be saved
via AJAX. Also, avoids a useless AJAX call.

When sorting a metabox, a clone of that metabox is created as a drag/drop "helper".
Previously, any checked radio input in the original metabox would become unchecked, when its clone "helper" was inserted into the DOM
(since only one radio within a set of radios of the same name can be checked).
Continued use of the clone helper is important so that the element being dragged isn't subject to the click and other event handlers attached to the real metabox,
so we can't just switch to dragging around the real metabox. See, for example, comment:10:ticket:16972.
Preserve the radios' state via some name attribute trickery.

* This moves our "development" versions from .dev.js to .js (same for css).
* The compressed version then moves from .js to .min.js (same for css).
By switching to the standard .min convention, it sets expectations for developers,
and works nicely with existing tools such as ack.
