Code Modernization: Deprecate dynamic properties in WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_Table magic methods.
The unknown use of unknown dynamic property within the `WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_Table` property magic methods is now deprecated. A descriptive deprecation notice is provided to alert developers to declare the property on the child class extending `WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_Table`.
Changes in this commit:
* Adds a deprecation notice to the `__get()`, `__set()`, `__isset()`, `__unset()` magic methods, i.e. to alert and inform developers when attempting to get/set/isset/unset a dynamic property.
* Fixes `__get()` to explicitly returns `null` when attempting to get a dynamic property.
* Fixes `__set()` by removing the value return after setting a declared property, as (a) unnecessary and (b) `__set()` should return `void` [https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.set per the PHP handbook].
* Fixes `__isset()` to return `false` if not in the `$compat_fields`, as `isset()` and `__isset()` should always return `bool`:
* [https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.isset `__isset()` in the PHP manual]
* [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php `isset()` in the PHP manual]
* Adds a test class with happy and unhappy paths for these changes.
For backward compatibility, no changes are made to the internal declared properties listed in `$compat_fields` and accessed through the magic methods.
For example:
A child class uses a property named `$data` that is not declared as a property on the child class. When getting its value, e.g. `$user_query->data`, the `WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_Table::__get()` magic method is invoked, the following deprecation notice thrown, and `null` returned:
>The property `data` is not declared. Setting a dynamic property is deprecated since version 6.4.0! Instead, declare the property on the class.
=== Why not remove the magic methods, remove the `$compat_fields` property, and restore the properties `public`?
tl;dr Backward compatibility.
If a plugin adds a property to `$compat_fields` array, then sites using that plugin would experience (a) an `Undefined property` `Warning` (PHP 8) | `Notice` (PHP 7) and (b) a possible change in behavior.
=== Why not limit the deprecation for PHP versions >= 8.2?
tl;dr original design intent and inform
The magic methods and `$compat_fields` property were added for one purpose: to continue providing external access to internal properties declared on `WP_Text_Diff_Renderer_Table`. They were not intended to be used for dynamic properties.
Deprecating that unintended usage both alerts developers a change is needed in their child class and informs them what to change.
