hellofromTonya eb85900d55 Build/Test Tools: Fix null handling and string type casting in WP_UnitTestCase_Base::assertSameIgnoreEOL().
Basically, the whole `assertSameIgnoreEOL()` assertion was fundamentally flawed. The assertion contends that it checks that the expected and actual values are of the same type and value, but the reality was very different.

* The function uses `map_deep()` to potentially handle all sorts of inputs.
* `map_deep()` handles arrays and objects with special casing, but will call the callback on everything else without further distinction.
* The callback used passes the expected/actual value on to the `str_replace()` function to remove potential new line differences.
* And the `str_replace()` function will - with a non-array input for the `$subject` - always return a string.
* The output of these calls to `map_deep()` will therefore have "normalized" _all properties_ in objects, _all values_ in arrays and _all non-object, non-array values_ to strings.
* And a call to `assertSame()` will therefore NEVER do a proper type check as the type of all input has already, unintentionally, been "normalized" to string.

Aside from this clear flaw in the design of the assertion, PHP 8.1 now exposes a further issue as a `null` value for an object property, an array value or a plain value, will now yield a ` str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated` notice.

To fix both these issues, the fix in this PR ensures that the call to `str_replace()` will now only be made if the input is a text string.
All other values passed to the callback are left in their original type.

This ensures that a proper value AND type comparison can be done as well as prevents the PHP 8.1 deprecation notices.

This commit:
- Fixes type-casting of non-string values to `string` (the flawed part of this assertion) by invoking `str_replace()` when the value is of string type.
- Fixes the PHP 8.1 `str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated` deprecation notice.
- Micro-optimization: skips `map_deep()` when actual and/or expected are `null` (no need to process).
- Adjusts the method documentation for both this method and the `assertEqualsIgnoreEOL()` alias method to document that the `$expected` and `$actual` parameters can be of any type.

Follow-up to [48937], [51135], [51478].

<h2>First Things First</h2>
<p>Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I&#8217;m proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we&#8217;re dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.</p>
<p style="text-align: right">&#8212; Matt Mullenweg</p>

<h2>Installation: Famous 5-minute install</h2>
<ol>
	<li>Unzip the package in an empty directory and upload everything.</li>
	<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser. It will take you through the process to set up a <code>wp-config.php</code> file with your database connection details.
		<ol>
			<li>If for some reason this doesn&#8217;t work, don&#8217;t worry. It doesn&#8217;t work on all web hosts. Open up <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.</li>
			<li>Save the file as <code>wp-config.php</code> and upload it.</li>
			<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser.</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Once the configuration file is set up, the installer will set up the tables needed for your site. If there is an error, double check your <code>wp-config.php</code> file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forums/">WordPress support forums</a> with as much data as you can gather.</li>
	<li><strong>If you did not enter a password, note the password given to you.</strong> If you did not provide a username, it will be <code>admin</code>.</li>
	<li>The installer should then send you to the <a href="wp-login.php">login page</a>. Sign in with the username and password you chose during the installation. If a password was generated for you, you can then click on &#8220;Profile&#8221; to change the password.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Updating</h2>
<h3>Using the Automatic Updater</h3>
<ol>
	<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/update-core.php">wp-admin/update-core.php</a></span> in your browser and follow the instructions.</li>
	<li>You wanted more, perhaps? That&#8217;s it!</li>
</ol>

<h3>Updating Manually</h3>
<ol>
	<li>Before you update anything, make sure you have backup copies of any files you may have modified such as <code>index.php</code>.</li>
	<li>Delete your old WordPress files, saving ones you&#8217;ve modified.</li>
	<li>Upload the new files.</li>
	<li>Point your browser to <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/upgrade.php">/wp-admin/upgrade.php</a>.</span></li>
</ol>
