Introduces new `determine_locale()` function for deciding the proper locale to use for a response. Default value is `get_user_locale()` in the admin, and `get_locale()` on the frontend. Because REST API requests are considered frontend requests, `?_locale=user` can be used to render the response in the user's locale.
Also updates `wp-login.php?wp_lang` implementation to benefit from this abstraction.
Merges [43776] from the 5.0 branch to trunk.

"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.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.

Previously, if no translation files exist for a text domain, `_load_textdomain_just_in_time()` went through the entire process each time it was called. This results in an increased call to `get_locale()` and its `locale` filter.
This change splits the logic into `_get_path_to_translation()` and `_get_path_to_translation_from_lang_dir()`. The former, which is used by `_load_textdomain_just_in_time()`, caches the result of the latter. It also removes some non-working code from `WP_Locale_Switcher::load_translations()`.

With the introduction of user-specific languages in [38705] it's necessary to be able to switch translations on the fly. For example emails should be sent in the language of the recipient and not the one of the current user.
This introduces a new `WP_Locale_Switcher` class which is used for switching locales and translations. It holds the stack of locales whenever `switch_to_locale( $locale )` is called. With `restore_previous_locale()` you can restore the previous locale. `restore_current_locale()` empties the stack and sets the locale back to the initial value.
`switch_to_locale()` is added to most of core's email functions, either with the value of `get_locale()` (site language) or `get_user_locale()` (user language with fallback to site language).
