 CS: Fix elseif in WordPress core files

 Many apologies if this is a duplicate. I have searched but did not find it
 yet posted.

 According to PHP Coding Standards(
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-
 standards/php/#use-elseif-not-else-if ) handbook else if is not compatible
 with the colon syntax for if|elseif blocks. For this reason, use elseif
 for conditionals. in many place core developer use '''else if''' so we
 have to change else if to elseif or remove '''Use elseif, not else if'''
 block from '''PHP Coding Standards''' document.
