This avoids an extra redirect and brings more consistency with other links to the PHP website in core.

This updates some inline comments to better match the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the make/core and make/docs handbooks:
> In general, use second person in your documentation. Second person depicts a friendly tone, with a perfect focus on the reader. In addition to this, directly addressing the reader helps avoid passive voice; thereby preventing unwanted confusion.
> ...
> the word “we” should be avoided (...) unless its made very clear which group is speaking.
Includes:
* Replacing first-person usage of "we" with second person point of view.
* Making small clarification adjustments where the voice is much too casual or lacks clear context, especially for non-native English speakers.

This changes updates many strings to remove self-references to an undefined "we" collective across the WordPress Administration.
The goal of this change is to better match the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the make/core handbook, specifically:
> the word "we" should be avoided (…) unless its made very clear which group is speaking.

This avoids a fatal error on PHP 8 if `error_reporting()` is disabled in `php.ini`.
On systems with this function disabled, it's best to add a dummy function to the `wp-config.php` file, as there are multiple other calls in core or plugins.
However, as this call to the function is run prior to `wp-config.php` loading, it is now wrapped in a `function_exists()` check.

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
noun, "installation", increases clarity, especially for non-native English speakers.
This change fixes the usage in user-facing text and in developer documentation.

Previously we ensured that the entry points to WordPress were parsable by PHP4 in order to display a friendly not-supported-php error message.
However, for the last two years the main entry points have not actually parsed, and we've only added extra parse errors since it last worked in 3.9, so it's time we just remove this 'feature'.
The PHP version checks are still there for PHP 5.0/5.1, and so it's inplace when we eventually drop PHP 5.2 support.

When no configuration file is detected, we now redirect to setup-config.php. This process now uses the WordPress bootstrap, rather than a set of fragile hacks.

* 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.
