When a closure does not use `$this`, it can be made `static` for improved performance.
Static closures are supported in PHP since PHP 5.4.

`create_function()` has been deprecated in PHP >= 7.2 and removed in PHP 8.
The only instance left in core was used in a test that was being skipped on PHP >= 7.2. This allows the test to run again.
Follow-up to [41722], [41730].
Props jrf.
Fixes#50899.

* Move the `create_function()` code into a file that's only loaded, and into a test that's only run, on PHP <= 7.2 to avoid deprecated warnings in 7.2+.
* Convert the test skipping into a failure if the GlotPress locale file cannot be downloaded.
* Ensure `test_exceptions` fails if an exception is not thrown.
* Docs improvements
