When a post slug is changed, we store a copy of the old slug, so that we can redirect visitors visiting the old URL to the new URL.
In the same way, this stores a copy of the old date, when the post date changes, so we can redirect visitors to the new URL.

This change reduces the number of API calls which WordPress makes to api.wordpress.org during release windows.
Previously the background updates would run upon every core update transient refresh, however now they'll only run if there's an update available.
The change also increases the cache period for plugin & theme checks when running via the cron, from never-cache to 2 hours, which should hopefully reduce the number of needless API calls.

Editor: when keeping the scroll position treat all shortcodes as preview-able. Otherwise in some cases the marker span can get stuck inside the shortcode and break the markup.

Backports [42547] without adding new files due to how minor updates work.
JSHint inherits a license from JSLint that includes the clause "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." WordPress's license specifically allows grants the freedom to run the program, for any purpose. Please note, this is not an encouragement of evil. Rather than doing something evil, how about learning to love those around you. Instead of tweeting lies and saying people are "Not Good!", help your neighbor. In the words of Lin Manual Miranda, "Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside."
This replaces JSHint with esprima, a part of the larger jQuery project, and a custom wrapper for some basic error checking within codemirror.
The existing JSHint configuration is kept in place in case someone wants to use that, but they can only do so for Good.
Fixes#42850

This change makes WordPress use `mysqli` on PHP <5.5 when available, instead of only in PHP 5.5+ and development installs.
WPDB includes a fallback to `mysql` in the event that the database connection fails with `mysqli` so incompatibilities should be few and far between.
