 Code Modernization: Rename parameters that use reserved keywords in `wp-
 includes/general-template.php`.

 While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in
 the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this
 will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use
 reserved keywords as function parameter names.

 This commit:
 * Renames the `$echo` parameter to `$display` in:
  * `wp_loginout()`
  * `wp_register()`
  * `get_calendar()`
  * `the_date()`
  * `the_modified_date()`
  * `checked()`
  * `selected()`
  * `disabled()`
  * `wp_readonly()`
  * `__checked_selected_helper()`
 * Renames the `$readonly` parameter to `$readonly_value` in
 `wp_readonly()`.
