Sergey Biryukov ad00d45c9b Code Modernization: Remove dynamic properties in WP_Test_REST_Posts_Controller.
Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.

In this particular case, the `test_create_update_post_with_featured_media()` method creates an attachment and writes the ID of the attachment to a dynamic (undeclared) property to be used as a flag to determine whether attachments need to be cleaned up after the test in the `tear_down()` method.

As the actual ''value'' of the property is irrelevant for the cleaning up and the property is realistically being used as a “flag”, this is now fixed as follows:

* Have an actual “flag” property declared with a descriptive name — `$attachments_created` — to make the code in the `tear_down()` more easily understandable.
* As for the actual ID of the attachment, save that to a test method local variable as that is the only place where it has any relevance.

Includes moving the `tear_down()` method up to be directly below the `set_up()` method.

Follow-up to [38832], [53557], [53558], [53850], [53851], [53852], [53853], [53854], [53856], [53916].

Props jrf.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
