This is an important release which makes significant changes to improve the accuracy, performance, stability and maintainability of all sniffs, as well as making WordPressCS much better at handling modern PHP.
WordPressCS 3.0.0 contains breaking changes, both for people using ignore annotations, people maintaining custom rulesets, as well as for sniff developers who maintain a custom PHPCS standard based on WordPressCS.
If you are an end-user or maintain a custom WordPressCS based ruleset, please start by reading the [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/wiki/Upgrade-Guide-to-WordPressCS-3.0.0-for-ruleset-maintainers Upgrade Guide to WordPressCS 3.0.0 for ruleset maintainers] which lists the most important changes and contains a step by step guide for upgrading.
If you are a maintainer of an external standard based on WordPressCS and any of your custom sniffs are based on or extend WordPressCS sniffs, please read the [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/wiki/Upgrade-Guide-to-WordPressCS-3.0.0-for-Developers-of-external-standards Upgrade Guide to WordPressCS 3.0.0 for Developers].
In all cases, please read the complete changelog carefully before you upgrade.
This commit:
* Updates the Composer dependencies to use the new version, including updating the underlying PHP_CodeSniffer dependency to the new minimum supported version for WPCS.[[BR]] Note: the Composer PHPCS installer plugin is no longer explicitly required as it is now a dependency of WPCS, so the dependency is inherited automatically.
* Updates the ruleset for WPCS 3.0.0. This includes:
* Raising the memory limit to be on the safe side as WPCS 3.0.0 contains a lot more sniffs.
* Removing explicit inclusions of extra rules, which have now been added to the `WordPress-Core` ruleset..
* Updating property names for select sniffs.
* Updating one exclusion — the `WordPress.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInCondition` sniff has been (partially) replaced by the `Generic.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInCondition` sniff.
* Adding one new exclusion.
* Downgrades one new error to a warning.[[BR]] The `Generic.Files.OneObjectStructurePerFile` sniff enforces that there is only one OO structure declaration per file. At this time, this sniff would yield 29 errors. By downgrading the sniff to a ''warning'', the build can pass and the issues can be fixed in due time. For now, the test directory will be excluded until the issues are fixed (as the test directory CS run does not allow for warnings).
* Updates ignore annotations for WPCS 3.0.0.

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.

Using the canonical function name for PHP functions is strongly recommended, as aliases may be deprecated or removed without (much) warning.
This replaces all uses of the following:
* `join()` with `implode()`
* `sizeof()` with `count()`
* `is_writeable()` with `is_writable()`
* `doubleval()` with a `(float)` cast

This avoids the performance overhead of the function call every time `dirname( __FILE__ )` was used instead of `__DIR__`.
This commit also includes:
* Removing unnecessary parentheses from `include`/`require` statements. These are language constructs, not function calls.
* Replacing `include` statements for several files with `require_once`, for consistency:
* `wp-admin/admin-header.php`
* `wp-admin/admin-footer.php`
* `wp-includes/version.php`

* 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!

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.

Using the new fatal handler introduced in [44962], an email is sent to the admin when a fatal error occurs. This email includes a secret link to enter recovery mode. When clicked, the link will be validated and on success a cookie will be placed on the client, enabling recovery mode for that user. This functionality is executed early before plugins and themes are loaded, in order to be unaffected by potential fatal errors these might be causing.
When in recovery mode, broken plugins and themes will be paused for that client, so that they are able to access the admin backend despite of these errors. They are notified about the broken extensions and the errors caused, and can then decide whether they would like to temporarily deactivate the extension or fix the problem and resume the extension.
A link in the admin bar allows the client to exit recovery mode.

Due to the high number of follow-up tickets and associated security concerns, it was decided to reschedule the fatal error recovery feature for WordPress 5.2, in order to address these issues properly. The feature will continue to be developed, with iterations being merged into trunk early in the 5.2 release cycle.

This changeset introduces a `WP_Shutdown_Handler` class that detects fatal errors and which extension (plugin or theme) causes them. Such an error is then recorded, and an error message is displayed. Subsequently, in certain protected areas, for example the admin, the broken extension will be paused, ensuring that the website is still usable in the respective area. The major benefit is that this mechanism allows site owners to still log in to their website, to fix the problem by either disabling the extension or solving the bug and then resuming the extension.
Extensions are only paused in certain designated areas. The frontend for example stays unaffected, as it is impossible to know what pausing the extension would cause to be missing, so it might be preferrable to clearly see that the website is temporarily not accessible instead.
The fatal error recovery is especially important in scope of encouraging the switch to a maintained PHP version, as not necessarily every WordPress extension is compatible with all PHP versions. If problems occur now, non-technical site owners that do not have immediate access to the codebase are not locked out of their site and can at least temporarily solve the problem quickly.
Websites that have custom requirements in that regard can implement their own shutdown handler by adding a `shutdown-handler.php` drop-in that returns the handler instance to use, which must be based on a class that inherits `WP_Shutdown_Handler`. That handler will then be used in place of the default one.
Websites that would like to modify specifically the error template displayed in the frontend can add a `php-error.php` drop-in that works similarly to the existing `db-error.php` drop-in.

When a plugin is activated, it can trigger a warning message if it outputs data at that time. This error message was being run through `__()`, instead of `_n()`, so it wasn't possible to correctly pluralise the message.

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.

Reverting this for 4.9. It will be added back in a future version of WordPress. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't be trying Gutenberg, just that it isn't ready for a call out to a larger audience.

This introduces the following meta capabilities:
* `activate_plugin`
* `deactivate_plugin`
* `deactivate_plugins`
The singular `activate_plugin` and `deactivate_plugin` capabilities are used along with the corresponding plugin name when
determining whether or not a user can activate or deactivate an individual plugin.
The plural `deactivate_plugins` capability is used in place of the existing `activate_plugins` capability when determining
whether a user can deactivate plugins.
Each of these new meta capabilities map to the existing `activate_plugins` primitive capability, which means there is no
change in existing behaviour, but plugins can now filter the capabilities required to activate and deactivate individual
plugins.
