 https://build.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/class-wp-fatal-
 error-handler.php?marks=173#L173 may show the message
 ```The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site
 admin email inbox for instructions.```
 However: there are various reasons a rightful admin may not receive that
 email and therefore won't be able to follow those instructions.

 Suggestion: Simply add "Or follow the debugging instructions in
 https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/" (link
 should be translatable!)

 This change needs for sure to be done in WP 5.3, but would be good to have
 already in a point release to 5.2 (and could could be seen as an error
 introduced with WP 5.2 – This particular message has generated a lot of
 questions over in the support forums.)
