In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

Partially reverts [48059] as there's no full consensus on the removal of the text prefix. Further actions should be taken to improve consistency and accessibility of the admin notices. Keeps some improvements to the translatable strings from [48059].

For a number of years, most of the WordPress error messages have been prefixed with "Error:". However, these messages appear in a context where it's already clear an error occurred. Whether it's an error, a warning, or any other classification, that's not so relevant for users. The content of the message is the relevant part. The "Error:" prefix doesn't add great value while it does add unnecessary complexity for the message readability.
Also, revises some of these messages to improve clarity and removes HTML from translatable 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!

In [34891], `WP_Screen` was updated with methods to store, retrieve, and render screen reader text used by screens with `WP_List_Table` instances. When the export/erase personal data list tables were introduced in [42967], these headings were missing.

This allows users to sort the export and erase personal data request tables by “Requester” (`post_title`, or user email) and “Requested” (`post_date`, or when the request was created), which can be helpful when sites have many requests present.

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.

r42986 introduced the beginnings of an Ajax handler for processing requests to erase personal data. At the time, a method for marking requests as completed was planned, but had not yet been created. This commit introduces that mechanism, bringing the erasure process closer to completion.

Multisite networks have a variety of use cases, and in many of them single-site administrators are not trusted to take actions that affect the whole network, require making decisions about legal compliance, etc. By default, those actions should require super admin capabilities. Plugins can be used to override that behavior if a particular site's use case calls for it.
