Comment:

 `49715.diff` is a first pass:
 - it replaces default `list` mode with `compact` mode. I didn't change
 `list` value for better backward compatibility, so it's only a wording
 change.
 - it replaces optional `excerpt` mode with `extended` mode. I added some
 code to handle user settings migration.
 - when selected, `extended` mode displays post excerpt (it's a proposal,
 I'm not sure we want to display excerpts at all) and row actions (not
 hidden for better accessibility).

 Todo:
 - Same for taxonomy terms
 - Same for users
 - Same for media
 - Check multisite/network related screens
