`str_starts_with()` was introduced in PHP 8.0 to perform a case-sensitive check indicating if the string to search in (haystack) begins with the given substring (needle).
WordPress core includes a polyfill for `str_starts_with()` on PHP < 8.0 as of WordPress 5.9.
This commit replaces `0 === strpos( ... )` with `str_starts_with()` in core files, making the code more readable and consistent, as well as improving performance.
While `strpos()` is slightly faster than the polyfill on PHP < 8.0, `str_starts_with()` is noticeably faster on PHP 8.0+, as it is optimized to avoid unnecessarily searching along the whole haystack if it does not find the needle.

While most of the action functions are aliases for the respective filter functions, using `did_action()` to detect whether a filter has been run is not possible, as it only works specifically for actions.
This is now resolved by introducing a new function, `did_filter()`, which retrieves the number of times a filter has been applied during the current request, bringing parity with `did_action()`.

Use `$hook_name` when referring to a filter or action hook name, and `$callback` when referring to a callback function.
This brings more consistency to parameter names in Plugin API functions.
Includes minor code layout fixes for better readability and reordering some functions in a more logical order.

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`

"Install" is not a noun, and while it might be acceptable to use the verb as a noun, it is not correct. Using the correct

To allow `plugin.php` to be loaded before the rest of WordPress is loaded, it cannot rely on WordPress constants, such as `ABSPATH` and `WPINC`.
Instead, we can assume that `class-wp-hook.php` will be in the same directory as `plugin.php`, so `dirname( __FILE__ )` will give us the correct path to load from.
Props pento, dd32.

Filters and actions have been the basis of WordPress' plugin functionality since time immemorial, they've always been a reliable method for acting upon the current state of WordPress, and will continue to be so.
Over the years, however, edge cases have cropped up. Particularly when it comes to recursively executing hooks, or a hook adding and removing itself, the existing implementation struggled to keep up with more complex use cases.
And so, we introduce `WP_Hook`. By changing `$wp_filter` from an array of arrays, to an array of objects, we reduce the complexity of the hook handling code, as the processing code (see `::apply_filters()`) only needs to be aware of itself, rather than the state of all hooks. At the same time, we're able te handle more complex use cases, as the object can more easily keep track of its own state than an array ever could.

First added in [37588] and later modified in [38224], the idea was to ensure that filters/actions added before `advance-cache.php` would not disappear if `advance-cache.php` overloaded the filters/actions with code such as `$wp_filter = array()`. This is an edge case and one that there is no documented case of existing.
This restores the behavior from WordPress 4.5 and before. It is strongly encouraged that developers using `advance-cache.php` to use the Plugins API that is available before the loading of `advance-cache.php` rather than directly interacting with any of the globals.

[37588] added methods to backup the plugin globals, for ensuring that advanced cache drop-ins don't overwrite hooks that've been added earlier in the load process.
The method for restoring the plugin globals wasn't compatible with the implementation of `WP_Hook` in #17817. `WP_Hook` implements `ArrayAccess`, so `_restore_plugin_globals()` was treating it as an array, and inadvertantly overwriting the `WP_Hook` object with a plain array.
To avoid having to re-write this code as part of #17817, we now use `add_filter()` to restore any hooks that were added by cache drop-ins, which `WP_Hook` correctly supports.
Props pento, jorbin.
