Changes (by dennishall):

 * Attachment "site-health-debug-log-outside-abspath.2.php" added.

 MU-Plugin that fixes the false positive WordPress Site Health > Status >
 Critical information whereas a debug log file that is outside the ABSPATH
 will not be reported as "potentially" publicly accessible. This mu-plugin
 is only a patch and should work with ALL WP 6.0+ installations which "may
 include - but not tested with" WPMU sites.
