Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.
There are a number of ways to mitigate this:
* If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo.
* For known properties: declare them on the class.
* For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al. methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly optimized versions of these magic methods built in.
* For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes.
Trac ticket #56034 is open to investigate and handle the third and fourth type of situations, however it has become clear this will need more time and will not be ready in time for WP 6.1.
To reduce “noise” in the meantime, both in the error logs of WP users moving onto PHP 8.2, in the test run logs of WP itself, in test runs of plugins and themes, as well as to prevent duplicate tickets from being opened for the same issue, this commit adds the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute to all “parent” classes in WP.
The logic used for this commit is as follows:
* If a class already has the attribute: no action needed.
* If a class does not `extend`: add the attribute.
* If a class does `extend`:
- If it extends `stdClass`: no action needed (as `stdClass` supports dynamic properties).
- If it extends a PHP native class: add the attribute.
- If it extends a class from one of WP's external dependencies: add the attribute.
* In all other cases: no action — the attribute should not be needed as child classes inherit from the parent.
Whether or not a class contains magic methods has not been taken into account, as a review of the currently existing magic methods has shown that those are generally not sturdy enough and often even set dynamic properties (which they should not). See the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE live stream from August 16, 2022] for more details.
This commit only affects classes in the `src` directory of WordPress core.
* Tests should not get this attribute, but should be fixed to not use dynamic properties instead. Patches for this are already being committed under ticket #56033.
* While a number bundled themes (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021) contain classes, they are not a part of this commit and may be updated separately.

While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use reserved keywords as function parameter names.
This commit renames the `$string` parameter to `$text` in `WP_Importer::min_whitespace()`.

Variables created within the scope of a function are discarded automatically when PHP leaves the scope of the function, i.e. on `return`, so doing a call to `unset()` straight before a `return` statement is redundant.

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

PHP used to allow both square brackets and curly braces to be used interchangeably for accessing array elements and string offsets. The curly bracket syntax is only allowed in a limited set of cases and can be confusing for people not used to it.
PHP 7.4 will deprecate the curly brace syntax for accessing array elements and string offsets and it is expected that support will be completely removed in PHP 8.0.

Fix some egregious uses of tabbing.
Some functions can simply return `apply_filters(...)` instead of setting a variable that is immediately returned.

* In `WP_Importer->is_user_over_quota()`, the default value for the first argument for `upload_is_user_over_quota()` is `true`. Don't bother passing `1`.
* When calling `submit_button()` with no `$name`, pass empty string instead of `false`.
* The default value for the 2nd argument to `get_edit_post_link()` is `'display'`. Because PHP is PHP, passing `true` is the same as passing `'display'` or nothing. Don't bother passing `true`.
* In `WP_User_Meta_Session_Tokens::drop_sessions()`, pass `0` instead of `false` to `delete_metadata()` as the value for `$object_id`, which expects an int.

* All WordPress files move to a src/ directory.
* New task runner (Grunt), configured to copy a built WordPress to build/.
* svn:ignore and .gitignore for Gruntfile.js, wp-config.php, and node.js.
* Remove Akismet external from develop.svn. Still exists in core.svn.
* Drop minified files from src/. The build process will now generate these.
