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.

While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use reserved keywords as function parameter names.
This commit renames the `$type` and `$object` parameters to `$object_type` and `$object_name` in `WP_Customize_Nav_Menus::load_available_items_query()`.

This changeset replaces contracted verb forms like `doesn't`, `can't`, or `isn't` with non-contracted forms like `does not`, `cannot`, or `is not`, for better consistency across the WordPress administration. It also updates some corresponding unit tests strings.

* 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.

Fixes a bug where menu assignements couldn't be changed when previewing a theme.
Also removes an unnecessary call to menu mapping after a theme switch from the customizer and makes sure the locations option is always written, for good measure.

* Update stubs to have draft status when changeset is saved as draft, instead of preventing auto-draft garbage collection by giving them a far-future `post_date`.
* Show notice in publish metabox when editing a customization draft indicating that it will be published automatically with its changeset; a link to Customizer is included.
* Include a new "Customization Draft" display post state in the post list table.
* Disconnect stubs from their changesets when they are updated with a status other than "Draft".
* Trash customization drafts when their related changeset is trashed or deleted.
* Add a `_customize_changeset_uuid` postmeta to stubs to link them with their associated changeset.
* Include `customize_changeset_uuid` as context when requesting to insert a new auto-draft.

Often, folks run into two issues when they create new menus: they click "Add a Menu" thinking it will add a new page to their menu, or they forget to assign their new menu to a location, and then wonder why it doesn't show up on their site.
This commit rearranges the order of items in the menu panel, and updates the flow for creating a menu by breaking it up into steps. Additionally, more help text has been added to guide people through the process of creating a menu.
Also adds default `type` lookups for Panel and Section instances. See #30741.
