Opted not to use the multi-function DocBlock syntax in the name of not taking shortcuts in documentation for the sake of brevity.
Props Alphawolf for the initial patch.

PHP7 is deprecating PHP4 style constructors, so we need to modify our code to have _construct methods that fire before the named PHP4 style constructors. The PHP4 style constructors will call the PHP5 style constructor in case it is being called directly (usually via parent::METHOD).
This modifies external libraries to add PHP5 style constructors, but doesn't add a notice for when they are used. In WordPress core code, PHP4 style constructors are being given a call to _deprecated_constructor. To the PHP4 style constructor I say "I know that I can't take no more | It ain't no lie | I wanna see you out that door | Baby, bye, bye, bye..."

* Restore missing wp_dashboard_rss_control() helper.
* Restore all original 3.7 functions, deprecating many, reusing others.

* Filter cleanup/restoration.

* Use wp_add_dashboard_widget() rather than add_meta_box().
* Use original functions like wp_dashboard_primary(), wp_dashboard_right_now(), wp_dashboard_quick_press() (where possible).
* Only include plugins section of the news widget when appropriate, which necessitates the set_current_screen() via the ajax action.
* Remove some debug cruft that was preventing caching and invalidation.
* Simplify lots of things where possible.
