Comment:

 In [changeset:"44896" 44896]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44896"
 Accessibility: Improve the placeholder "prompt" text in the post title and
 Quick Draft widget.

 Old browsers didn't support the HTML placeholder attribute. For a number
 of years, `<label>` elements have been used in a few places in WordPress
 to emulate placeholders. It's time to improve semantics and interaction,
 use real placeholders when possible, and clean up some JavaScript.

 - Quick Draft widget: it now uses visible `<label>` elements and a real
 `placeholder` attribute
 - removes the related JavaScript
 - Post title:
   - keeps the "prompt" label for backwards compatibility
   - improves the JavaScript to make the "prompt" label stay visible on
 focus and disappear when typing, like real placeholder do
 - changes the post "prompt" text from "Enter title here" to "Add title"
 for consistency with the Block Editor
 - cleans-up some CSS

 Props Cheffheid, afercia.
 Fixes #42390.
