----------------------------+-----------------------------
 When attempting to set Application Passwords on a non-HTTPS website (i.e.
 http://localhost), WordPress says it needs the development environment to
 be declared (creating an assumption it needs to be
 WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE=development). However, in actuality, WordPress
 requires WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE to be set to 'local', not 'development'.

 To reproduce:
 - Deploy a non-HTTPS instance (i.e. http://localhost)
 - Set WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE constant to 'development' in wp-config.php, i.e.
 - define('WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'development');
 - Go to /wp-admin/profile.php and edit any user
 - Under Application Passwords the following messages is posted, despite
 the environment being set to development:

   The application password feature requires HTTPS, which is not enabled on
 this site.
   If this is a development website you can [set the environment type
 accordingly](https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/#wp-
 environment-type) to enable application passwords.

 Solution:
 - Either clarify the instructions to say to set it to 'local', not
 'development'
 OR
 - Update the wp_is_application_passwords_supported() function to accept
 the development environment.
