WordPress has supported custom page templates for over 12 years, allowing developers to create various layouts for specific pages.
While this feature is very helpful, it has always been limited to the 'page' post type and not was not available to other post types.
By opening up the page template functionality to all post types, we continue to improve the template hierarchy's flexibility.
In addition to the `Template Name` file header, the post types supported by a template can be specified using `Template Post Type: post, foo, bar`.
When at least one template exists for a post type, the 'Post Attributes' meta box will be displayed in the back end, without the need to add post type support for `'page-attributes'`. 'Post Attributes' can be customized per post type using the `'attributes'` label when registering a post type.

New default themes require workarounds being added to several unit tests, as they often alter default WordPress behaviour. To avoid ongoing maintenance issues, this change switches to a minimal theme when running tests.
This change also removes the old workarounds for default themes.

Fixes a bug where the UI wasn't updated after deleting/updating a theme.
Also introduces unit tests for theme management ajax handlers. For now they're
focused on `wp_ajax_update_theme()` but they can include tests for other
handlers as well.

By initially scanning the `wp-content/languages` directory and loading available MO files just-in-time, plugins and themes do not need to manually load text domains anymore.
