Comment (by desrosj):

 In [changeset:"51838" 51838]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="51838"
 Build/Test Tools: Introduce the PHPUnit Polyfills package for easier cross
 branch testing.

 This backports the PHPUnit Polyfills package and related test
 infrastructure changes to make it easier for developers to continue
 testing on multiple versions WordPress while adding tests for newer
 versions of PHP, which require more modern PHPUnit practices.

 One of the changes included is the addition of wrappers for the new
 snake_case fixture methods in PHPUnit. This allows the native camelCase
 standard in PHPUnit to be used, but allows for developers to transition to
 the new naming conventions.

 Props hellofromTonya, jrf, SergeyBiryukov, johnbillion, netweb,
 schlessera, jeherve, lucatume, desrosj.
 Merges [51559,51560,51810-51813,51828] to the 5.8 branch.
 See #53911.
