 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61485"
 Script Loader: Use HTML API to generate SCRIPT tags.

 Script tags have complicated and unintuitive parsing rules that make them
 difficult to author correctly. The HTML API automatically escapes script
 tag contents as necessary and will set attributes correctly. Using the
 HTML API to generate SCRIPT tags improves safety when working with SCRIPT
 tags, resolving a class of issues that have manifested repeatedly.

 Changeset [61418] applied the HTML API to generate style tags in a similar
 way.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10639.

 Props jonsurrell, dmsnell, westonruter.
 Fixes #64500. See #64419, #40737, #62797, #63851, #51159.
