Visible `<label>` elements benefit all users. The `placeholder` attribute should not be used as a replacement for visible labels.
Instead, it's supposed to be used only for a short hint to aid users with data entry e.g. a sample value or a brief description of the expected format.
Screen readers may not announce a `placeholder` attribute at all. Other users may suffer from the lack of a visible label and a placeholder used as replacement, for example:
- users with cognitive disabilities may have trouble remembering what the filled field does
- speech recognition users cannot see the name they can speak to set focus on the field
- low-vision users with high text-size may not be able to see the whole placeholder even when it's visible, if its value is clipped by the edge of the input

Headings are the predominant mechanism for screen reader users to find information in a page. They also help all users to better identify the main sections of user interfaces.

- adds audible messages via `wp.a11y.speak()` to announce the search results
- removes a `keyup` event that was there only to support old browsers
- removes `aria-modal="true"` from the media modal dialog as it prevents the ARIA live regions to be perceived by screen readers
- triggers the search only after 2 ASCII characters have been typed

When a theme declares HTML5 support for script and styles via `add_theme_support( 'html5', array( 'script', 'style' ) )`, the `type="text/javascript"` and `type="text/css"` attributes are omitted.
These attributes are unnecessary in HTML5 and cause warnings in the W3C Markup Validation Service.

* 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!

Makes sure the media modal dialog `h1` heading isn't empty when custom media frames don't set a title. This is particularly important now that the media modal is an ARIA dialog, as the title is referenced by an `aria-labelledby` attribute to properly label the dialog.

Noteable changes:
- The `magic_quotes_runtime` and `magic_quotes_sybase` settings were removed in PHP 5.4, so no longer need to be set.
- Some functions that use external libraries can generate errors that can't be tested for, so are globally allowed to silence errors.
- Quite a few functions would cause errors if `safe_mode` was set. This setting was removed in PHP 5.4.
- Only a handful of `header()` calls needed corresponding `headers_sent()` checks for unit tests to pass, but more may need to be added as the nightlies builds are tested.

- Introduces `wp_get_missing_image_subsizes()` and `wp_update_image_subsizes()` to generate image sub-sizes that are missing or were not created after the upload.
- Adds a way to display errors that happened while creating sub-sizes.
- Introduces `wp_create_image_subsizes()` intended for use after an image was uploaded. It saves/updates the image metadata immediately after each sub-size is created. This fixes the (long standing) problem when some of the sub-size image files were created but there was a timeout or an error and the metadata was not saved. Until now such uploads were considered "failed" which usually resulted in the user trying to upload the same image again, creating even more "orphan" image files.
Note that the patch also includes some unrelated WPCS fixes.

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.

The personal data export and erasure tools allow plugins to register their own callbacks, in order to add additional data to the export and erasure processes. Previously, these were registered without specifying a constant identifier in the array of callbacks. Using mutable integers makes it difficult for plugins to modify the callbacks of other plugins, though.
Using associative array keys instead provides a covenient and reliable way to identify and interact with another plugin's callbacks.
