 Code Modernization: Rename parameters that use reserved keywords in `wp-
 includes/functions.php`.

 While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in
 the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this
 will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use
 reserved keywords as function parameter names.

 This commit:
 * Renames the `$echo` parameter to `$display` in:
  * `wp_nonce_field()`
  * `wp_referer_field()`
  * `wp_original_referer_field()`
 * Renames the `$string` parameter to `$input_string` in
  * `_wp_json_convert_string()`
  * `_wp_to_kebab_case()`
 * Renames the `$list` parameter to `$input_list` in:
  * `wp_parse_list()`
  * `wp_parse_id_list()`
  * `wp_parse_slug_list()`
  * `wp_filter_object_list()`
  * `wp_list_filter()`
  * `wp_list_pluck()`
  * `wp_list_sort()`
 * Renames the `$array` parameter to `$input_array` in:
  * `add_magic_quotes()`
  * `wp_array_slice_assoc()`
  * `_wp_array_get()`
  * `_wp_array_set()`
 * Renames the `$function` parameter to `$function_name` in:
  * `_deprecated_function()`
  * `_deprecated_argument()`
  * `_doing_it_wrong()`
 * Renames the `$class` parameter to `$class_name` in
 `_deprecated_constructor()`.
 * Renames the `$default` parameter to `$default_value` in
 `apache_mod_loaded()`.
 * Renames the `$var` parameter to `$value` in `wp_validate_boolean()`.
 * Amends the `$input` parameter in `wp_parse_str()` for consistency.
