Comment:

 In [changeset:"43656" 43656]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43656"
 General: PHP 7.3 throws an `E_WARNING` when using continue to target a
 switch.

 Applying continue to a switch is equivalent to using break and quite
 possibly, a continue targeting a higher level control structure is
 actually intended.

 To target the higher level control structure, a numeric argument has to be
 passed to continue. This fixes two cases in WordPress Core where this is
 currently happening.

 See: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/3364
 See: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/continue_on_switch_deprecation

 Props jrf.
 Merges [43653] to the 4.9 branch.
 Fixes #44543.
