Comment (by stephdau):

 [attachment:25408.10.diff] implements most of what @helen and I discussed
 on Slack:
 * also adds `column-primary` when applying `has-row-actions`,except for
 the `blogs` column in `WP_MS_Users_List_Table`, which needs the latter at
 all times, but not the former.
 * only implements a statically-named filter in
 `WP_List_Table::get_primary_column_name()`, with context as argument.
 Dynamically-named filters are needlessly difficult to document/use, and we
 don't really implement new ones.

 One thing I did not do is renaming `*::handle_row_actions()` to
 `*::row_actions()` because they are both implemented in the parent class,
 are different enough (args, etc), and both are valuable as is. Opened to
 renaming it, just not to that.

 Also switched `WP_Comments_List_Table::handle_row_actions()` to return and
 not echo, for consistency.
