 refreshes the patch after the file reorganization in #43895.  It also
 updates the `@since` tags to `5.3.0'.

 Additionally, it adds 2 new hooks:

 1. `manage_privacy_requests_columns` (in `get_columns()`, this is a
 filter).  This allows for adding columns that are "agnostic" as to the
 request type (similar to `wp_insert_post()`'s use of both `save_post` and
 `save_post_{$post_type}`).  The request type is passed as the 2nd param,
 so it can also be used to output columns that are specific to the request
 type.
 2. `manage_privacy_request_custom_column` (in `column_default()`, this is
 an action, see [comment:8 comment 8]).  Again, this allows for outputting
 values for custom columns that are both "agnostic" as to request-type and
 request-type-specific columns.

 The hooks in
 [[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/44354/44354.diff|44354.diff]]
 are still there.  These new hooks just give plugin authors different ways
 to add/output custom columns.

 p.s. I have **not** experienced the memory problems mentioned by
 [comment:6 garrett-eclipse].  I didn't try the initial patch until after
 #43895...maybe that had something to do with it?
