David Baumwald 56bde67811 Administration: Add new get_views_links method to WP_List_Table.
Many `WP_List_Table` child classes in core use mostly the same code to create their "view" links markup.  To DRY-up the code, a new `WP_List_Table->get_view_links` method is being introduced to consolidate the HTML link generation when provided an array of links.

This change also implements this new method in the relevant `WP_List_Table_xxx` child classes `get_views` methods.  Finally, unit tests are being added to validate view links markup and test for some "unhappy paths".

Fixes #42066.

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.
