If the theme declares support for the `html5` feature `navigation-widgets`, the tag cloud widget is now wrapped in a `<nav>` element to improve semantics and accessibility.
The `<nav>` elements are native landmark regions, which helps assistive technology users to navigate through them.
Follow-up to [48349] for other widgets.

Widgets that output list of links can now be wrapped within `<nav>` elements to improve semantics and accessibility.
The `<nav>` elements are also native landmark regions, which helps assistive technology users to navigate through them. Themes can opt-in to this new behavior by declaring support for the new `html5` feature `navigation-widgets`.

The tag was supported in phpDocumentor 1.x, but is no longer supported in 2.x and 3.x.
Usage of static variables is considered an internal implementation detail and has no information value for someone reading the docs.

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`

When a theme declares HTML5 support for script and styles via `add_theme_support( 'html5', array( 'script', 'style' ) )`, the `type="text/javascript"` and `type="text/css"` attributes are omitted.
These attributes are unnecessary in HTML5 and cause warnings in the W3C Markup Validation Service.

* Add missing translator comments.
* Fix placement of some translator comments. Translator comments should be on the line directly above the line containing the translation function call for optimal compatibility with various `.pot` file generation tools. 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 translator comments.
Includes minor code layout fixes.
Polyglots, rejoice! All WordPress core files now have translator comments for all strings with placeholders!

Also, the block editor uses https for its placeholders. Let's add some consistency.

- removes the `Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.` title attribute
- removes the title attribute from the abbreviations: contrary to a common belief, title attributes on abbreviations are only available to a minority of users, see https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2019/03/short-note-the-abbreviation-appreciation-society/
- changes the term `RSS` to `feed`, as `RSS` is a technical term not all users are supposed to be familiar with
- improves the `widget_meta_poweredby` filter documentation

Noteable changes:
- The `magic_quotes_runtime` and `magic_quotes_sybase` settings were removed in PHP 5.4, so no longer need to be set.
- Some functions that use external libraries can generate errors that can't be tested for, so are globally allowed to silence errors.
- Quite a few functions would cause errors if `safe_mode` was set. This setting was removed in PHP 5.4.
- Only a handful of `header()` calls needed corresponding `headers_sent()` checks for unit tests to pass, but more may need to be added as the nightlies builds are tested.

`<button>` elements are natively interactive, supported by any assistive technology, and must be used instead of non-semantic, non-accessible `<div>` elements.

In an authoring context, the image `alt` attribute purpose is different from the one for the front end. For example, screen reader users need to know what the selected image is, even when the original `alt` value is empty.
This change introduces a new pattern for the `alt` text in an authoring context:
- uses the `alt` text if not empty
- when there's no `alt` text, informs users the image has no alternative text and provides a reference to the image filename
Also, makes the gallery media widget preview an unordered list to make screen readers announce the number of images automatically.
Fixes#43137.
