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.

The tag was supported in phpDocumentor 1.x, but is no longer supported in 2.x and 3.x.
Usage of static variables is considered an internal implementation detail and has no information value for someone reading the docs.

Previously, `wp_favicon_request()` was introduced in [13205] to avoid a performance hit of serving a full 404 page on every favicon request.
While working as intended, that implementation did not provide a way for theme or plugin authors to manage the behavior of favicon requests.
This changeset implements the following logic (only applied if WordPress is installed in the root directory):
* If there is a Site Icon set in Customizer, redirect `/favicon.ico` requests to that icon.
* Otherwise, use the WordPress logo as a default icon.
* If a physical `/favicon.ico` file exists, do nothing, let the server handle the request.
Handling `/favicon.ico` is now more consistent with handling `/robots.txt` requests.
New functions and hooks:
* Introduce `is_favicon()` conditional tag to complement `is_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_favicon` action to complement `do_robots` and use it in template loader.
* Introduce `do_favicon()` function, hooked to the above action by default, to complement `do_robots()`.
* Introduce `do_faviconico` action to complement `do_robotstxt`, for plugins to override the default behavior.
* Mark `wp_favicon_request()` as deprecated in favor of `do_favicon()`.

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 WPCS `WordPress.WhiteSpace.PrecisionAlignment` rule throws warnings for a bunch of code that will likely cause issues for `wpcbf`. Fixing these manually beforehand gives us better auto-fixed results later.

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.

If a plugin attempts to change the rewrite rules to early, other plugins may have their rules inadvertently discarded. Additionally, some function such as `url_to_post_id` cause a rewrite rule lookup that could cause this accidental flushing. This forces the flushing to only occur once `wp_loaded` has been fired.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.
Note: 'backwards compatibility/compatibile' can also be considered correct, though it's primary seen in regular use in British English.

For the past 6 years, WordPress has operated as an oEmbed consumer, allowing users to easily embed content from other sites. By adding oEmbed provider support, this allows any oEmbed consumer to embed posts from WordPress sites.
In addition to creating an oEmbed provider, WordPress' oEmbed consumer code has been enhanced to work with any site that provides oEmbed data (as long as it matches some strict security rules), and provides a preview from within the post editor.
For security, embeds appear within a sandboxed iframe - the iframe content is a template that can be styled or replaced entirely by the theme on the provider site.

Awesome rewrite bug: the `page` query var was being set to `'/4'` in `$wp`. When cast to `int`, it returns `0` (Bless you, PHP). `WP_Query` calls `trim( $page, '/' )` when setting its own query var. The few places that were checking `page` before posts were queried now have sanity checks, so that these changes work without flushing rewrites.
Adds/updates unit tests.

The rewrite functions have all kinds of cross-dependencies (like `WP_Query`), so loading the file by itself would have been bizarre (and still is).
Creates:
`rewrite-constants.php`
`rewrite-functions.php`
`class-wp-rewrite.php`
`rewrite.php` contains only top-level code. Class file only contains the class. Functions file only contains functions.
