 In [changeset:"50447" 50447]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="50447"
 Bootstrap/Load: Check if the `error_reporting()` function exists in `wp-
 load.php`.

 This avoids a fatal error on PHP 8 if `error_reporting()` is disabled in
 `php.ini`.

 On systems with this function disabled, it's best to add a dummy function
 to the `wp-config.php` file, as there are multiple other calls in core or
 plugins.

 However, as this call to the function is run prior to `wp-config.php`
 loading, it is now wrapped in a `function_exists()` check.

 Props peterwilsoncc, fijisunshine, ayeshrajans.
 Fixes #52226.
