Comment (by knutsp):

 This has become a mess, but can be kept without a lot of BC breaks this
 way:

 For `wp_get_environment_type()` add/allow a 'local ' prefix in
 `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE`:
 {{{#!php
 [
 'local', // deprecate later, return as 'local development'
 'local development',
 'local staging',
 'local production'.
 'development',
 'staging',
 'production' // default
 ]
 }}}


 Maybe also:
 Introduce `WP_LOCAL DEV`, which forces the 'local ' prefix (in case not
 already set).
 In case 'local ' is included and `WP_LOCAL DEV` is undefined, define
 `WP_LOCAL DEV` as true.
 In case 'local ' is no included and `WP_LOCAL DEV` is undefined, define
 `WP_LOCAL DEV` as false.
 Finally:
 {{{#!php
 if ( str_ends_with( wp_get_environment_type(), 'development' ) ) {
     //set other development related constants not set earlier
 }
 }}}

 Recommendations for use:

 * To check for local or remote, use constant `WP_LOCAL DEV` (preferred) or
 `str_starts_with` (possible, giving same result)
 * To check for legacy environment type only, also in case on local, use
 `str_ends_with` (edge case)
 * The common check `if ( 'production' !== wp_get_environment_type() )` on
 remote environments will then work as before. 'local production' is new
 and a very edge case, maybe useful on intranets.
