 Short summary of the problem: When `error_reporting` function is disabled
 on the hosting provider, it breaks admin area due to the fact that `wp-
 admin/load-styles.php` and `wp-admin/load-scripts.php` are triggering it
 without checking.

 Some work has been done to resolve the problem on #52226

 Unfortunately it doesn't address the issue completely as it only adds
 checks to the `wp-load.php` file.

 Here is the great post that summarizes problem with `error_reporting` in
 WP for some additional context: https://phil.lavin.me.uk/2022/02
