Comment:

 In [changeset:"59120" 59120]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59120"
 General: Remove `noopener` from links opening in a new tab.

 Removes the automatic addition of `rel="noopener noreferrer"` from links
 targeting a new tab or window, `target='_blank'`. Since this was
 introduced, supported browsers have changed their security policies and no
 longer allow the opened link to have JavaScript access to the previous
 tab.

 Deprecates:

 * `wp_targeted_link_rel()`
 * `wp_targeted_link_rel_callback()`
 * `wp_init_targeted_link_rel_filters()`: converted to a noop function
 * `wp_remove_targeted_link_rel_filters()`: converted to a noop function

 The deprecated functions are retained in `formatting.php` as in
 `SHORTINIT` mode the file is included while `deprecated.php` is not.

 This also removes the `noopener` from links hard coded within the
 WordPress dashboard linking to documentation and other resources.

 Fixes #53843.
