New description:

 In WordPress 6.8, it appears that the `add_new` arg for
 `register_post_type` is no longer being used on the menu item.

 Instead, the `add_new_item` arg is now being used for both the menu item
 and page title.

 If `add_new_item` isn't defined, then both locations will default to
 saying "Add Post", which sounds weirdly nonspecific for custom post types
 even though they're technically "posts".

 We don't see this listed in the changelog, and the `register_post_type`
 docs still mention `add_new` without any kind of mention of deprecation,
 so we think this might have been an accidental regression?

 Is it no longer possible to use a separate wording for the two locations?
 We'd like to have our menu item say "Add New" and our page title say "Add
 New Location" rather than have them be the same wording, which was
 previously possible.

 Example code:
 {{{
 $labels =
 [
     'add_new' => __('Add New'), //This is no longer being used?
 ]

 $args =
 [
     'labels' => $labels,
 ]
 }}}
