Previously, only the username was checked which caused a PHP warning in some server setups, for instance Shibboleth SSO, where the server only populates the `PHP_AUTH_USER` field.

Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication to transfer authentication details. If the site is already using Basic Auth, for instance to implement a private staging environment, then the REST API will treat this as an authentication attempt and would end up generating an error for any REST API request.
Now, Application Password authentication will only be attempted if Application Passwords is in use by a site. This is flagged by setting an option whenever an Application Password is created. An upgrade routine is added to set this option if any App Passwords already exist.
Lastly, creating an Application Password will be prevented if the site appears to already be using Basic Authentication.

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 filter is the callback function added with `add_filter()`, therefore the hook passes a value to the filter, and the filter returns a value to change its behaviour.
The documentation is referring to the latter.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

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.

Hook documentation should be on the line directly above the line containing the `do_action()` or `apply_filters()` call. 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 duplicate hook references.

For accessibility and usability, if an input error is detected, the item that is in error needs to be identified and the error needs to be described to the user in text (WCAG Success Criterion 3.3.1). The login form displays an error when the username field is empty or when the password field is empty. It omits to do so when both fields are empty.
This change restores the login form behavior to the one that used to work in WordPress 2.3 (!) and displays the related error messages also when both fields are empty.

When dealing with personal data exports and erasure requests, it is important to have a log of all the requests for a specific person. This is often required to confirm when and how many times requests were completed and fulfilled properly.
This change allows a new request to be created after a previous data request has reached completed status (`request-completed`) instead of requiring admins to delete or re-initiate the existing request. The latter approach removes the historical log of requests for that user when creating a new request.
Full unit tests for the `wp_create_user_request()` function are also included.
