This affects the `::walk()`, `::paged_walk()`, and `::get_number_of_root_elements()` methods.
PHP 8 changes the way string to number comparisons are performed: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/string_to_number_comparison
In particular, checking if an empty string is equal to zero in PHP 8 evaluates to `false`, not `true`.
For the `WP_Walker` class, this resulted in an incorrect handling of parent items in a few methods.
By explicitly checking for an `empty()` value instead, we make sure the check works as expected in PHP 8 and earlier versions.
Follow-up to [35876], [48960], [49043], [49076].

Rather than relying on `func_get_args()` to retrieve arbitrary function arguments, we can now use the spread operator to assign them directly to a variable.
This re-applies [45624] and reverts [45640], with a dev note upcoming for plugin authors to maintain backward compatibility with old versions of WordPress.
Props jrf.

WordPress' code just... wasn't.
This is now dealt with.

The WPCS `WordPress.WhiteSpace.PrecisionAlignment` rule throws warnings for a bunch of code that will likely cause issues for `wpcbf`. Fixing these manually beforehand gives us better auto-fixed results later.

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.
See #41452.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.
Note: 'backwards compatibility/compatibile' can also be considered correct, though it's primary seen in regular use in British English.

* Every subclass of `Walker` overrides `$db_fields` and makes it public
* `wp_list_comments()` accesses `->max_pages` on an instance of `Walker`, it must be public
* `$has_children` was added as `protected` in 4.0. doesn't need BC
Make `$db_fields` and `$max_pages` public and remove magic methods.

* 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.
